And may there be no ???? ?? 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 so sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho’ 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 crossed the ?bar Tennyson. --------------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with the USGenWeb policy of providing free information on the Internet, this data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
