Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIJI KIII| O SILVER one O silver one | A |
| Above the valley of the Bane | B |
| O stem with snow water agleam | C |
| And glistening limbs and trails of pearl | D |
| - | |
| The sun has sent a slanting kiss | E |
| Red fire and gold his arrows burn | F |
| Now that he aims a shaft at thee | G |
| Red fire and gold to silver turn | F |
| - | |
| When I am spent with the ways of men | H |
| I'll wash my hands in melting snow | I |
| And live with thee among the oaks | J |
| And watch the river swirl below | I |
| - | |
| But I must ever be travelling | K |
| From sea to sea from shoal to shoal | I |
| Farewell O still and beautiful | I |
| I would thy valley were my goal | I |
