Sunset and evening star,
and one clear call for me!
and may there be no moaning of the bar,
when I put out to seac
But such a tide as moving seems asleep
too full for sound and foam,
when that which drew from out the boundless deep
turns again home. "
Twilight and evening bell,
and after that the dark!
and may there be no sadness of farewell,
when I embark;
For though from out our bourne of time and place
the flood may bear me far
I hope to see my pilot face to face
when I have crossed the barc
