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,
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.
By A. L. Tennyson

With Our Sympathy,
Rosa & Jewel DeWitt
