Rhyme Scheme: ABACC DEDFF GHGII| Why does the sea moan evermore | A |
| Shut out from heaven it makes its moan | B |
| It frets against the boundary shore | A |
| All earth's full rivers cannot fill | C |
| The sea that drinking thirsteth still | C |
| - | |
| Sheer miracles of loveliness | D |
| Lie hid in its unlooked on bed | E |
| Anemones salt passionless | D |
| Blow flower like just enough alive | F |
| To blow and multiply and thrive | F |

| Snells quaint with curve or spot or spike | G |
| Encrusted live things argus eyed | H |
| All fair alike yet all unlike | G |
| Are born without a pang and die | I |
| Without a pang and so pass by | I |
