| - | |
| - | |
| Once more upon the ocean's heaving breast | B |
| He lays his head not like the lover bold | C |
| Who in the brave chivalric days of old | C |
| Wooed from her lips the secret of the West | B |
| But like a tired man going to his rest | B |
| No hopes to thrill no yearnings to inspire | D |
| No tasks to burden and no toil to tire | E |
| No morn to waken to a day of quest | B |
| Again upon the trackless deep again | F |
| About him as of yore the wild winds play | G |
| Behind him lies the world he gave to men | F |
| Before a grave in old Castile for aye | H |
| Peace winds and tides Be calm thou guardian sky | H |
| The lordliest dust of earth is passing by | H |
