Rhyme Scheme: ABABACBCCDEDEDFEFF BCBCBGCGG HIHIHJIJJ| Bright skies of summer o er the deep | A |
| And soft salt air along the land | B |
| The blue wave lisping in its sleep | A |
| Sinks gently on the yellow sand | B |
| And gray winged seagulls slowly sweep | A |
| O er scattered bush and white limbed tree | C |
| Where the red cliffs like bastions stand | B |
| To front the salvos of the sea | C |
| Now lulled by its own melody | C |
| Yonder the rising waters ride | D |
| O er ironstone masses celled and worn | E |
| There gnarled and bent by wind and tide | D |
| A single mangrove stands forlorn | E |
| Alone in melancholy pride | D |
| A symbol of the soul of man | F |
| In Life s wild surges tossed and torn | E |
| That yearns amid the battle s van | F |
| For the vast good it may not scan | F |
| - | |
| Along this silent shining sand | B |
| Come brother of my heart with me | C |
| Tho I have never felt thine hand | B |
| And tho thine eyes I ne er may see | C |
| Yet somewhere or by sea or land | B |
| Thine heart and mine keep equal beat | G |
| And in Life s strange eternity | C |
| Responsive souls perchance may meet | G |
| And know each other ere they greet | G |
| - | |
| Begone regret and carking care | H |
| That to the murky world belong | I |
| The chimes of earth and sea and air | H |
| Ring softened here to elfin song | I |
| Come friend of solitude to where | H |
| The low dark jetty meets the blaze | J |
| Of sky and waters slumbering long | I |
| Here let us dream while ocean plays | J |
| The mystic chants of golden days | J |
