Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDD EFFEGG HIIHJJ| They sleep well here | A |
| These fisher folk who passed their anxious days | B |
| In fierce Atlantic ways | B |
| And found not there | C |
| Beneath the long curled wave | D |
| So quiet a grave | D |
| - | |
| And they sleep well | E |
| These peasant folk who told their lives away | F |
| From day to market day | F |
| As one should tell | E |
| With patient industry | G |
| Some sad old rosary | G |

| And now night falls | H |
| Me tempest tost and driven from pillar to post | I |
| A poor worn ghost | I |
| This quiet pasture calls | H |
| And dear dead people with pale hands | J |
| Beckon me to their lands | J |
