| At night when the sea cradles me | B |
| And the pale star gleam | C |
| Lies down on its broad waves | D |
| Then I free myself wholly | B |
| From all activity and all the love | E |
| And stand silent and breathe purely | B |
| Alone alone cradled by the sea | B |
| That lies there cold and silent with a thousand lights | F |
| Then I have to think of my friends | G |
| And my gaze sinks into their gazes | H |
| And I ask each one silent alone | I |
| Are you still mine | J |
| Is my sorrow a sorrow to you my death a death | K |
| Do you feel from my love my grief | L |
| Just a breath just an echo | M |
| And the sea peacefully gazes back silent | N |
| And smiles no | M |
| And no greeting and now answer comes from anywhere | O |
