阿尔佛雷德•坦尼森爵士

落日星寥的时侯，

传来一声清晰的呼唤！

那时我将出海远行

或许听不到沙海的悲声

但，如此的潮涌似睡，

充溢着泡沫和轰鸣，

它发自深不可测的海底

重新变为归宿。

黄昏幽鸣的晚钟，

以及那随之而来的黑夜！

或许不会有离别的忧伤，

当我将踏归程;

尽管它源自我们时空的溪流

这洪水也会把我漂流很远，

我希望能当面见到我的领航员

当我已跨越沙海。

Crossing The Bar

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

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 and 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 crost the bar.
