Crossing the Bar by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Crossing the Bar
BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON

Sunset and evening star,

And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar,

When I put out to sea,

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 tho' 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 crost the bar.

There once was a fellow named Joe
Who everyone knew to be slow
With brains made of shit
And lacking all wit
He never knew which way to go.
