This poem is refering to death and crossing over to the other side. Tennyson describes how he wants to leave in a peaceful way. He hopes people do not mourn his death. He uses the sea as a metaphor for death and the waves and the nature of the sea as how you go. He wants the sea to be at peace while he crosses. He wants to be face to face with his "pilot" that led him on this voyage. The pilot in this case is God.
