| Give me to keep thy company | B |

| Little thou hast old friend that's new | C |
| Storms and wrecks are old things to thee | B |
| Sick am I of these changes too | C |

| All of thy wanderings far and near | D |
| Bring thee at last to shore and me | B |
| All of my journeyings end them here | E |
| This our tether must be our cheer | D |
| I on the shore and thou on the sea | B |

| Lazily rocking on ocean's breast | F |
| Something in common old friend have we | B |
| Thou on the shingle seek'st thy nest | F |
| I to the waters look for rest | F |
| I on the shore and thou on the sea | B |
