| Its waves in mockery roll | N |
| And sweep a might of bitter pain | F |
| Across each human soul | N |

| And few can stand upon the sands | O |
| Beside this boundless sea | B |
| And say with calm unfaltering voice | P |
| It has no grief for me | B |

| Our deeds and words untrue | Q |
| Yet surely as the tide comes in | R |
| The wrecks will follow too | Q |
