a metaphor for god
the extended metaphor of "crossing the bar" represents travelling serenely and securely from life through death. the pilot is a metaphor for god, whom the speaker hopes to meet face to face. tennyson explained, "the pilot has been on board all the while, but in the dark i have not seen him…[he is] that divine and unseen who is always guiding us."









































the words have been set to music by sir hubert parry, sir joseph barnby geoffrey shaw and dr. george hewson, organist at st patrick's cathedral dublin.
