Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHDHD IJIJKDKD| Upon the barren sand | A |
| A single captive stood | B |
| Around him came with bow and brand | A |
| The red men of the wood | B |
| Like him of old his doom he hears | C |
| Rock bound on ocean's rim | D |
| The chieftain's daughter knelt in tears | E |
| And breathed a prayer for him | D |
| - | |
| Above his head in air | F |
| The savage war club swung | G |
| The frantic girl in wild despair | F |
| Her arms about him flung | G |
| Then shook the warriors of the shade | H |
| Like leaves on aspen limb | D |
| Subdued by that heroic maid | H |
| Who breathed a prayer for him | D |
| - | |
| Unbind him gasped the chief | I |
| Obey your king's decree | J |
| He kissed away her tears of grief | I |
| And set the captive free | J |
| 'Tis ever thus when in life's storm | K |
| Hope's star to man grows dim | D |
| An angel kneels in woman's form | K |
| And breathes a prayer for him | D |
