Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GBHB| The mountains that enfold the vale | A |
| With walls of granite steep and high | B |
| Invite the fearless foot to scale | A |
| Their stairway toward the sky | B |

| The restless deep dividing sea | C |
| That flows and foams from shore to shore | D |
| Calls to its sunburned chivalry | C |
| Push out set sail explore | D |

| Sigh not Too weak but boldly try | B |
| You never can begin to live | H |
| Until you dare to die | B |
