There are a few symbols in the poem "Crossing the bar by Alfred Lord Tennyson. When reading, I figured out that this poem was talking about dying. The speaker says how they are accepting that they will die. One symbol in the poem is the word "home"(line 8). The home represents heaven with God because it is where we began and were created. We started with God, and he hopes to return with God. This would mean going in heaven. Also, Rather than being upset, they talk of how they hope to see thier "Pilot" (line 15). The Pilot stands for God. He hopes to see him once he dies. Since he talks about going home, it is pretty obvious that this is what he meant.
