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 or 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 food may bear me far.
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
