| Hark where the murmurs of thronged men | K |
| Surge and sink back and surge again | K |
| Still the one voice of wave and tree | I |

| Gather a shell from the strown beach | L |
| And listen at its lips they sigh | M |

| The echo of the whole sea's speech | L |
| And all mankind is thus at heart | N |
| Not anything but what thou art | N |
| And Earth Sea Man are all in each | L |
