Postlude
A precious one is gone
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our hearts,
Which never can be filled.
Crossing the Bar
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 flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
