Crossing the bar
Crossing the Bar BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSONSunset 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.Continue reading “Crossing the bar”

Poetry by Marianne Moore
