Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB AABBBB DDEBBE AABFFB DDBAAB| Cean duv deelish beside the sea | A |
| I stand and stretch my hands to thee | A |
| Across the world | B |
| The riderless horses race to shore | C |
| With thundering hoofs and shuddering hoar | C |
| Blown manes uncurled | B |
| - | |
| Cean duv deelish I cry to thee | A |
| Beyond the world beneath the sea | A |
| Thou being dead | B |
| Where hast thou hidden from the beat | B |
| Of crushing hoofs and tearing feet | B |
| Thy dear black head | B |

| Cean duv deelish 'tis hard to pray | D |
| With breaking heart from day to day | D |

| When the passionate challenge of sky is cast | B |
| In the teeth of the sea and an angry blast | B |
| Goes by | E |
| - | |
| God bless the woman whoever she be | A |
| From the tossing waves will recover thee | A |
| And lashing wind | B |
| Who will take thee out of the wind and storm | F |
| Dry thy wet face on her bosom warm | F |
| And lips so kind | B |
| - | |
| I not to know It is hard to pray | D |
| But I shall for this woman from day to day | D |
| Comfort my dead | B |
| The sport of the winds and the play of the sea | A |
| I loved thee too well for this thing to be | A |
| O dear black head | B |
