Sheet music
- 1Sunset and evening star,And one clear call for me!And may there be no moaning of the barWhen I put out to sea, When I put out to sea,But such a tide as moving seems asleep,(Too full for sound and foam,)Too full for sound and foam,When that which drew from out the boundless deep(Turns again home,)Turns again home, Turns again home,Turns again home, Turns again home.
- 2Twilight and evening bell,And after that the dark!And may there be no sadness of farewellWhen I, when I embark, When I, when I embark;For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place,(The flood may bear me far,)The flood may bear me far,I hope to see my Pilot face to face(When I have crossed,)When I have crossed, When I have crossed,When I have crossed, crossed the bar.
