Crossing the Bar
/! By Lord Tennyson
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.
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 flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
What a beautiful and uplifting
thought is contained in this inspiring
poem by Tennyson! It is the thought
of a man whose life has been one of
service to his fellow-men and of will-
ing obedience to his Lord—clean,
pure, Christ-like. He has no fear and
no regrets. He is prepared to meet
his Maker and looks forward with
eagerness and happy expectancy to
the time when he will stand “face to
face” with his Savior after he has
“crossed the bar” of death into life
eternal.
There seems to be an almost sacred
significance in the fact that this was
the last poem we read in our English
class while our dear friend and class-
mate, Rea Bronstad, was still with us.
It is almost as if this message was | up to as
left to comfort us and to help us bear Axle g
the heavy burden of grief, for the The ha
poem is so symbolic of Rea’s clean, cunning
Christian life. H.C. those thi
