Crossing the Bar" is an 1889 elegiac poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The narrator uses an extended metaphor to compare death with crossing the " sandbar " between the river of life, with its outgoing "flood", and the ocean that lies beyond death , the "boundless deep", to which we return.
In the mid-19th-century, the phrase "the harbor bar be moaning" in the poem and lyric "Three Fishers" connected working-class suffering to the noises.
