Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI JKJK LMLM NFNF| O ship incoming from the sea | A |
| With all your cloudy tower of sail | B |
| Dashing the water to the lee | A |
| And leaning grandly to the gale | B |
| - | |
| The sunset pageant in the west | C |
| Has filled your canvas curves with rose | D |
| And jeweled every toppling crest | C |
| That crashes into silver snows | D |
| - | |
| You know the joy of coming home | E |
| After long leagues to France or Spain | F |
| You feel the clear Canadian foam | E |
| And the gulf water heave again | G |
| - | |
| Between these somber purple hills | H |
| That cool the sunset's molten bars | I |
| You will go on as the wind wills | H |
| Beneath the river's roof of stars | I |
| - | |
| You will toss onward toward the lights | J |
| That spangle over the lonely pier | K |
| By hamlets glimmering on the heights | J |
| By level islands black and clear | K |
| - | |
| You will go on beyond the tide | L |
| Through brimming plains of olive sedge | M |
| Through paler shadows light and wide | L |
| The rapids piled along the ledge | M |
| - | |
| At evening off some reedy bay | N |
| You will swing slowly on your chain | F |
| And catch the scent of dewy hay | N |
| Soft blowing from the pleasant plain | F |
