Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CBCCB DBEDB FBFFB| Sauntering hither on listless wings | A |
| Careless vagabond of the sea | B |
| Little thou heedest the surf that sings | A |
| The bar that thunders the shale that rings | A |
| 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 |
| Little to care for little to rue | C |
| I on the shore and thou on the sea | B |
| - | |
| 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 |
