Rhyme Scheme: AAB CCD EEF GGF HIJ KKJ| The low sandy beach and the thin scrub pine | A |
| The wide reach of bay and the long sky line | A |
| O I am sick for home | B |

| The salt salt smell of the thick sea air | C |
| And the smooth round stones that the ebbtides wear | C |
| When will the good ship come | D |

| The wretched stumps all charred and burned | E |
| And the deep soft rut where the cartwheel turned | E |
| Why is the world so old | F |

| The lapping wave and the broad gray sky | G |
| Where the cawing crows and the slow gulls fly | G |

| The thin slant willows by the flooded bog | H |
| The huge stranded hulk and the floating log | I |
| Sorrow with life began | J |

| And among the dark pines and along the flat shore | K |
| O the wind and the wind for evermore | K |
| What will become of man | J |
