Answer 2

Answer:

Tennyson is speaking about his own impending death in 'Crossing the Bar.' The image of the sea is used throughout the poem to represent the 'barrier' between life and death. This metaphor is built around the image of 'crossing the bar,' which is physically a sand bar in shallow water.

Explanation:

• The clear reference to Tennyson's 'moving on' allows us to interpret the evening image as representing old age. Clearly, the poem is about the sea, about a tide that 'returns home.' We are reminded that the tide has done this before; its rhythm will not be disrupted by the poet's death.
• 'And may there be no moaning of the bar when I set sail,' for example.

Thus this is the answer.
