Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHIG JK J LMM NOON PQQP RSSR QNNQ| Love you have led me to the strand | A |
| Here where the stilly sunset sea | B |
| Ever receding silently | B |
| Lays bare a shining stretch of sand | A |
| - | |
| Which as we tread in waving line | C |
| Sinks softly 'neath our moving feet | D |
| And looking down our glances meet | D |
| Two mirrored figures yours and mine | C |
| - | |
| To night you found me sad alone | E |
| Amid the noisy empty books | F |
| And drew me forth with those sweet looks | F |
| And gentle ways which are your own | E |
| - | |
| The glory of the setting sun | G |
| Has sway'd and softened all my mood | H |
| This wayward heart you understood | I |
| Dear love as you have always done | G |
| - | |
| Have you forgot the poet wild | J |
| Who sang rebellious songs and hurl'd | K |
| His fierce anathemas at 'the world ' | - |
| Which shrugg'd its shoulders pass'd and smil'd | J |
| - | |
| Who fled in wrath to distant lands | L |
| And sitting thron'd upon a steep | M |
| Made music to the mighty deep | M |
| And thought 'Perhaps it understands ' | - |
| - | |
| Who back return'd a wanderer drear | N |
| Urged by the spirit's restless pain | O |
| Sang his wild melodies in vain | O |
| Sang them to ears that would not hear | N |
| - | |
| A weary lonely thing he flies | P |
| His soul's fire with soul's hunger quell'd | Q |
| Till sudden turning he beheld | Q |
| His meaning mirrored in your eyes | P |
| - | |
| Ah Love since then have passed away | R |
| Long years some things are chang'd on earth | S |
| Men say that poet had his worth | S |
| And twine for him the tardy bay | R |
| - | |
| What care I so that hand in hand | Q |
| And heart in heart we pace the shore | N |
| My heart desireth nothing more | N |
| We understand we understand | Q |
