丁尼生暮年名作，诗人自道愿置于一切诗集之末。诗以出海喻死亡，黄昏星与晚钟之后，潮水满盈，安然离岸，望见掌舵的领港人。全诗平静庄严，毫无惧色，是英国诗歌中面对死亡的绝唱。
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 crost the bar.
