Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG IJJI KLLK AIIA HHHH MNOM APPA HIIH PAAP| The waves were weary and they went to sleep | A |
| The winds were hushed | B |
| The starlight flushed | B |
| The furrowed face of all the mighty deep | A |
| - | |
| The billows yester eve so dark and wild | C |
| Wore strangely now | D |
| A calm upon their brow | D |
| Like that which rests upon a cradled child | C |
| - | |
| The sky was bright and every single star | E |
| With gleaming face | F |
| Was in its place | F |
| And looked upon the sea so fair and far | E |
| - | |
| And all was still still as a temple dim | G |
| When low and faint | H |
| As murmurs plaint | H |
| Dies the last note of the Vesper hymn | G |
| - | |
| A bark slept on the sea and in the bark | I |
| Slept Mary's Son | J |
| The only One | J |
| Whose face is light where all all else is dark | I |
| - | |
| His brow was heavenward turned His face was fair | K |
| He dreamed of me | L |
| On that still sea | L |
| The stars He made were gleaming through His hair | K |
| - | |
| And lo a moan moved o'er the mighty deep | A |
| The sky grew dark | I |
| The little bark | I |
| Felt all the waves awaking from their sleep | A |
| - | |
| The winds wailed wild and wilder billows beat | H |
| The bark was tossed | H |
| Shall all be lost | H |
| But Mary's Son slept on serene and sweet | H |
| - | |
| The tempest raged in all its mighty wrath | M |
| The winds howled on | N |
| All hope seemed gone | O |
| And darker waves surged round the bark's lone path | M |
| - | |
| The sleeper woke He gazed upon the deep | A |
| He whispered Peace | P |
| Winds wild waves cease | P |
| Be still The tempest fled the ocean fell asleep | A |
| - | |
| And ah when human hearts by storms are tossed | H |
| When life's lone bark | I |
| Drifts through the dark | I |
| And 'mid the wildest waves where all seems lost | H |
| - | |
| He now as then with words of power and peace | P |
| Murmurs Stormy deep | A |
| Be still still and sleep | A |
| And lo a great calm comes the tempest's perils cease | P |
