October 6Crossing the Bar
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson (18091892)
S
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
Too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
