Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC DEDF GHGH| We stood by the river that swept | A |
| In its glory and grandeur away | B |
| But never a pulse o' me leapt | A |
| And you wondered at me that day | B |
| - | |
| We stood by the lake as it lay | B |
| With its dimpled face turned to the light | C |
| Was it strange I had nothing to say | B |
| To so fair and enchanting a sight | C |
| - | |
| I look on your tresses of gold | D |
| You are fair and a thing to be loved | E |
| Do you think I am heartless and cold | D |

| One answer dear friend I will make | G |
| To the questions your eyes ask of me | H |
| Talk not of the river or lake | G |
| To those who have looked on the sea | H |
