夕阳下，闪疏星，

召唤一声清朗！

愿沙渚宁静，

我将出海远航；

潮汐如梦幻，

涛声似止，浪花息；

大海深处涌来，

又悄然退却。

暮霭钟鸣，

黑夜将笼罩！

愿诀别无悲声，

登舟起锚；

千古洪流，时空无限，

滔滔载我至远方；

渡沙渚一线，

泰然见领航。9Thesceneissketchedwithafewstrokes：sunsetandtheeveningstar，thetwilightandtheeveningbell，andthenthedark.Theshipisreadytogooutoftheharbor.Itwillcrossthebarandreachthevastopenseaforthelongvoyagethatitistomake.10ThemeAlfredTennysonwrotethispoemattheageof80.Tooursurprise,thepoetlaureatecanstillusehisinspirationtomakethispoemwithin10minutes.Thispoemappears，athisrequest，asthefinalpoeminallcollectionsofhisworks.Crossingthebarmeansleavingthisworldandenteringthenextworld.Wecanfeelhisfearlessnesstowardsdeath，hisfaithinGodandanafterlife.11ThispieceofpoemtalksaboutthedeathoftraditionalChristianthought,emphasizingthepoet’sfirmreligiousbeliefs.Asaskilledpilotwillguidetheboatrideoutthesandbar,Godwillguideussafelythroughtheshallowsofthesinister
