EBRAHIM KHALIL's video: Crossing the bar class nine Alfred Lord Tennyson Ebrahim Khalil EK

New Curriculum Class Nine Poem 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 tho' 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 cross'd the bar. Summary In the poem, the poet talks about death and the journey into the afterlife.
