| His iron might the potent engine plies | A |
| Haste winged words and ere 'tis useless tell | B |
| Farewell farewell yet once again farewell | B |
| - | |
| The docks the streets the houses past us fly | C |
| Without a strain the great ship marches by | C |
| Ye fleeting banks take up the words we tell | B |
| And say for us yet once again farewell | B |
| - | |
| The waters widen on without a strain | D |
| The strong ship moves upon the open main | D |
| She knows the seas she hears the true waves swell | B |
| She seems to say farewell again farewell | B |
| - | |
| The billows whiten and the deep seas heave | E |
| Fly once again sweet words to her I leave | E |
| With winds that blow return and seas that swell | B |
| Farewell farewell say once again farewell | B |
| - | |
| Fresh in my face and rippling to my feet | F |
| The winds and waves an answer soft repeat | F |
| In sweet sweet words far brought they seem to tell | B |
| Farewell farewell yet once again farewell | B |
| - | |
| Night gathers fast adieu thou fading shore | G |
| The land we look for next must lie before | G |
| Hence foolish tears weak thoughts no more rebel | H |
| Farewell farewell a last a last farewell | B |
| - | |
| Yet not indeed ah not till more than sea | I |
| And more than space divide my love and me | I |
| Till more than waves and winds between us swell | B |
| Farewell a last indeed a last farewell | B |
