| With the sounding seas above thee | B |
| It is but a restless wo | A |
| But a haunting dream to love thee | B |
| Thrice the glad swan has sung | C |
| To greet the spring time hours | D |
| Since thine oar at parting flung | C |
| The white spray up in showers | D |
| - | |
| There's a shadow of the grave on thy hearth and round thy home | E |
| Come to me from the ocean's dead thou'rt surely of them come ' | - |
| - | |
| 'Twas Ulla's voice alone she stood | F |
| In the Iceland summer night | G |
| Far gazing o'er a glassy flood | H |
| From a dark rock's beetling height | G |
| - | |
| 'I know thou hast thy bed | I |
| Where the sea weed's coil hath bound thee | B |
| The storm sweeps o'er thy head | I |
| But the depths are hush'd around thee | B |
| What wind shall point the way | J |
| To the chambers where thou'rt lying | K |
| Come to me thence and say | J |
| If thou thought'st on me in dying | K |
| - | |
| I will not shrink to see thee with a bloodless lip and cheek | L |
| Come to me from the ocean's dead thou'rt surely of them speak ' | - |
| - | |
| She listen'd 'twas the wind's low moan | M |
| 'Twas the ripple of the wave | N |
| 'Twas the wakening osprey's cry alone | M |
| As it started from its cave | N |
| - | |
| 'I know each fearful spell | O |
| Of the ancient Runic lay | J |
| Whose mutter'd words compel | O |
| The tempest to obey | J |
| But I adjure not thee | B |
| By magic sign or song | P |
| My voice shall stir the sea | B |
| By love the deep the strong | P |
| - | |
| By the might of woman's tears by the passion of her sighs | Q |
| Come to me from the ocean's dead by the vows we pledg'd arise ' | - |
| - | |
| Again she gazed with an eager glance | R |
| Wandering and wildly bright | G |
| She saw but the sparkling waters dance | R |
| To the arrowy northern light | G |
| - | |
| 'By the slow and struggling death | S |
| Of hope that loath'd to part | T |
| By the fierce and withering breath | S |
| Of despair on youth's high heart | T |
| By the weight of gloom which clings | U |
| To the mantle of the night | G |
| By the heavy dawn which brings | U |
| Nought lovely to the sight | G |
| - | |
| By all that from my weary soul thou hast wrung of grief and fear | V |
| Come to me from the ocean's dead awake arise appear ' | - |
| - | |
| Was it her yearning spirit's dream | W |
| Or did a pale form rise | Q |
| And o'er the hush'd wave glide and gleam | W |
| With bright still mournful eyes | Q |
| - | |
| 'Have the depths heard they have | X |
| My voice prevails thou'rt there | Y |
| Dim from thy watery grave | N |
| Oh thou that wert so fair | Y |
| Yet take me to thy rest | Z |
| There dwells no fear with love | A2 |
| Let me slumber on thy breast | Z |
| While the billow rolls above | A2 |
| - | |
| Where the long lost things lie hid where the bright ones have their home | E |
| We will sleep among the ocean's dead stay for me stay I come ' | - |
| - | |
| There was a sullen plunge below | A |
| A flashing on the main | B2 |
| And the wave shut o'er that wild heart's wo | A |
| Shut and grew still again | C2 |
