Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFGG HHII JJKK LMNN IIOP QQRRR| Sweet are these kisses of the South | A |
| As dropped from woman's rosiest mouth | A |
| And tenderer are those azure skies | B |
| Than this world's tenderest pair of eyes | B |
| - | |
| But ah beneath such influence | C |
| Thought is too often lost in Sense | D |
| And Action faltering as we thrill | E |
| Sinks in the unnerved arms of Will | E |
| - | |
| Awake thou stormy North and blast | F |
| The subtle spells around us cast | F |
| Beat from our limbs these flowery chains | G |
| With the sharp scourges of thy rains | G |
| - | |
| Bring with thee from thy Polar cave | H |
| All the wild songs of wind and wave | H |
| Of toppling berg and grinding floe | I |
| And the dread avalanche of snow | I |
| - | |
| Wrap us in Arctic night and clouds | J |
| Yell like a fiend amid the shrouds | J |
| Of some slow sinking vessel when | K |
| He hears the shrieks of drowning men | K |
| - | |
| Blend in thy mighty voice whate'er | L |
| Of danger terror and despair | M |
| Thou hast encountered in thy sweep | N |
| Across the land and o'er the deep | N |
| - | |
| Pour in our ears all notes of woe | I |
| That as these very moments flow | I |
| Rise like a harsh discordant psalm | O |
| While we lie here in tropic calm | P |
| - | |
| Sting our weak hearts with bitter shame | Q |
| Bear us along with thee like flame | Q |
| And prove that even to destroy | R |
| More God like may be than to toy | R |
| And rust or rot in idle joy | R |
