Crossing The Bar


Driving in the city of Richmond, Virginia this evening at 7:30 P.M.



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.


Alfred Lord Tennyson
