| Ah when your longing for the open ocean | G |
| Captures your heart and bids you set your sail | I |
| Feeble will be the bonds of my devotion | G |
| Little will love your own or mine avail | I |
| Happy to you will seem some ship wrecked stranger | C |
| Keener than love the zest of being free | B |
| Sweeter than peace the summoning of danger | C |
| Some day at sunrise you will put to sea | B |
