Rhyme Scheme: AB CDDCCDDC EFGHHG| The village in the bay of Spezia near which Shelley was living | A |
| before the wreck of the Don Juan | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| Mid April seemed like some November day | C |
| When through the glassy waters dull as lead | D |
| Our boat like shadowy barques that bear the dead | D |
| Slipped down the long shores of the Spezian bay | C |
| Rounded a point and San Terenzo lay | C |
| Before us that gay village yellow and red | D |
| The roof that covered Shelley's homeless head | D |
| His house a place deserted bleak and grey | C |
| - | |
| The waves broke on the door step fishermen | E |
| Cast their long nets and drew and cast again | F |
| Deep in the ilex woods we wandered free | G |
| When suddenly the forest glades were stirred | H |
| With waving pinions and a great sea bird | H |
| Flew forth like Shelley's spirit to the sea | G |
