Yet I see my palace shining, where my love sits amaranths twining,

And I know the gates stand open, and I shall enter in!

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,
