| Huge vapours brood above the clifted shore | B |
| Night on the ocean settles dark and mute | C |
| Save where is heard the repercussive roar | B |
| Of drowsy billows on the rugged foot | D |
| Of rocks remote or still more distant tone | E |
| Of seamen in the anchored bark that tell | F |
| The watch relieved or one deep voice alone | E |
| Singing the hour and bidding Strike the bell | F |

| All is black shadow but the lucid line | G |
| Marked by the light surf on the level sand | H |
| Or where afar the ship lights faintly shine | G |
| Like wandering fairy fires that oft on land | H |
| Misled the pilgrim such the dubious ray | I |
| That wavering reason lends in life's long darkling way | I |
