Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBAB ACDAEEAE AFFAGGAG| From the Past and Unavailing | A |
| Out of cloudland we are steering | A |
| After groping after fearing | A |
| Into starlight we come trailing | A |
| And we find the stars are true | B |
| Still O comrade what of you | B |
| You are gone but we are sailing | A |
| And the old ways are all new | B |
| - | |
| For the Lost and Unreturning | A |
| We have drifted we have waited | C |
| Uncommanded and unrated | D |
| We have tossed and wandered yearning | A |
| For a charm that comes no more | E |
| From the old lights by the shore | E |
| We have shamed ourselves in learning | A |
| What you knew so long before | E |
| - | |
| For the Breed of the Far going | A |
| Who are strangers and all brothers | F |
| May forget no more than others | F |
| Who looked seaward with eyes flowing | A |
| But are brothers to bewail | G |
| One who fought so foul a gale | G |
| You have won beyond our knowing | A |
| You are gone but yet we sail | G |
