Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHBH IJKJ LMNM OPQP IRSR| A rain once fell upon the earth | A |
| For many a day and night | B |
| And hid the flowers the grass the trees | C |
| The birds and beasts from sight | B |
| - | |
| The deep waves covered all the land | D |
| And mountain tops so high | E |
| And nothing could be seen around | F |
| But water and the sky | E |

| But yet there was one moving thing | G |
| A still and lonely ark | H |
| That many a weary day and night | B |
| Sailed o'er that ocean dark | H |

| At last a little dove was forth | I |
| From that lone vessel sent | J |
| But wearied to the ark again | K |
| When evening came she bent | J |
| - | |
| Again she went but soon returned | L |
| And in her beak was seen | M |
| A little twig an olive branch | N |
| With leaves of shining green | M |
| - | |
| The waters sank and then the dove | O |
| Flew from the ark once more | P |
| And came not back but lived among | Q |
| The tree tops as before | P |
| - | |
| Then from the ark they all came forth | I |
| With songs of joy and praise | R |
| And once again the green earth smiled | S |
| Beneath the sun's warm rays | R |
