Sunset and evening star,

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 though from out our bourne of Time and Place
7
the flood may Pilot face to face
when I have crossed the bar.
