Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK AMNM| Too long O Spirit of Storm | A |
| Thy lightning sleeps in its sheath | B |
| I am sick to the soul of yon pallid sky | C |
| And the moveless sea beneath | B |
| - | |
| Come down in thy strength on the deep | D |
| Worse dangers there are in life | E |
| When the waves are still and the skies look fair | F |
| Than in their wildest strife | E |
| - | |
| A friend I knew whose days | G |
| Were as calm as this sky overhead | H |
| But one blue morn that was fairest of all | I |
| The heart in his bosom fell dead | H |
| - | |
| And they thought him alive while he walked | J |
| The streets that he walked in youth | K |
| Ah little they guessed the seeming man | L |
| Was a soulless corpse in sooth | K |
| - | |
| Come down in thy strength O Storm | A |
| And lash the deep till it raves | M |
| I am sick to the soul of that quiet sea | N |
| Which hides ten thousand graves | M |
