Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHDHDIJIK LDLD| Upon the barren sand | A |
| The lonely captive stood | B |
| Around him came with bow and brand | A |
| The red men of the wood | B |
| Like one of old his doom he hears | C |
| Rock bound on Ocean's brim | D |
| The Chieftain's daughter knelt in tears | E |
| And breathed a prayer for him | D |
| Above his head in air | F |
| The savage war club swung | G |
| The frantic maid in wild despair | F |
| Her arms around him flung | G |
| Then shook the warriors off the shade | H |
| Like leaves on aspen limb | D |
| Subdued by that heroic maid | H |
| Who breathed a prayer for him | D |
| 'Unbind him ' gasp'd the Chief | I |
| 'It is your King's decree ' | J |
| He kiss'd away the tears of grief | I |
| And set the captive free | K |
| 'Tis ever thus when in life's storm | L |
| Hope's Star to man grows dim | D |
| An Angel kneels in woman's form | L |
| And breathes a prayer for him | D |
