Alfred Lord Tennyson
Crossing the Bar
[VERSE]
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me
And may there be no mourning of the bar
When I put out to sea
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
[Instrumental]
[VERSE]
Twilight and evening bell
And after that, the dark
And may there be no sadness or farewell
When I embark
[Chorus]
But throughout are borne of time and space
The flood may bear me far
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar
[Instrumental]
[OUTRO]
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar
