| To the ship within the dock | B |
| Or dost thou fear the shock | B |
| Of the ocean hidden rock | B |
| When tempests strike thee full and leave thee blind | A |
| And low the inky clouds | C |
| Blackly tangle in thy shrouds | C |
| And ev'ry strained cord | D |
| Finds a voice and shrills a word | E |
| That word of doom so thunderously upflung | B |
| From the tongue | B |
| Of every forked wave | F |
| Lamenting o'er a grave | F |
| Deep hidden at its base | G |
| Where the dead whom it has slain | H |
| Lie in the strict embrace | G |
| Of secret weird tendrils but the pain | H |
| Of the ocean's strong remorse | I |
| Doth fiercely force | I |
| The tale of murder from its bosom out | J |
| In a mighty tempest clangour and its shout | J |
| In the threat'ning and lamenting of its swell | K |
| Is as the voice of Hell | K |
| Yet all the word it saith | L |
| Is 'Death ' | M |
| - | |
| Come with me sang the Wind | A |
| Why art thou love unkind | A |
| Thou are too fair O ship | N |
| To kiss the slimy lip | N |
| Of the cold and dismal shore and prithee mark | B |
| How chill and dark | B |
| Shew the vast and rusty linkings of the chain | H |
| Hoarse grating as with pain | H |
| Which moors thee | L |
| And secures thee | L |
| From the transports of the soft wind and the main | H |
| Aye strain thou and pull | O |
| Thy sails are dull | P |
| And dim from long close furling on thy spars | I |
| But come thou forth with me | L |
| And full and free | L |
| I'll kiss them kiss them kiss them till they be | L |
| White as the Arctic stars | I |
| Or as the salt white pinions of the gulf | Q |
| - | |
| Come with me sang the Wind | A |
| O ship belov'd and find | A |
| How golden gloss'd and blue | R |
| Is the sea | L |
| How thrush sweet is my voice how dearly true | R |
| I'll keep my nuptial promises to thee | L |
| O mine to guide thy sails | I |
| By the kisses of my mouth | L |
| Soft as blow the gales | I |
| On the roses in the south | L |
| O mine to guide thee far | S |
| From ruddy coral bar | S |
| From horizon to horizon thou shalt glimmer like a star | S |
| Thou shalt lean upon my breast | T |
| And I shall rest | T |
| And murmur in thy sails | I |
| Such fond tales | I |
| That thy finest cords | I |
| Will syren like chant back my mellow words | I |
| With such renew'd enchantment unto me | L |
| That I shall be | L |
| By my own singing closer bound to thee | L |
| - | |
| Come with me sang the Wind | A |
| Thou knowest love my mind | A |
| No more I'll try to woo thee | L |
| Persuade thee or pursue thee | L |
| For thou art mine | U |
| Since first thy mast a tall and stately pine | U |
| Beneath Norwegian skies | I |
| Sang to my sighs | I |
| Thou thou wert built for me | L |
| Strong lily of the sea | L |
| Thou cans't not choose | I |
| The calling of my low voice to refuse | I |
| And if Death | L |
| Were the sole sad wailing burthen of my breath | L |
| Thy timbers at my call | V |
| Would shudder in their thrall | V |
| Thy sails outburst to touch my stormy lip | N |
| Like a giant quick in a grave | F |
| Thy anchor heave | W |
| And close upon my thunder pulsing breast O ship | N |
| Thou would'st tremble nor repine | U |
| That being mine | U |
| Thy spars | I |
| Like long pale lights of falling stars | I |
| Plunged in the Stygian blackness of the sea | I |
| And to billowy ruin cast | X |
| Thy tall and taper mast | X |
| Rushed shrieking headlong down to an abyss | I |
| O ship O love if Death | L |
| Were such sure portion thou could'st not refuse | I |
| But thou would'st choose | I |
| As mine to die and call such choosing bliss | I |
| For thou for me | I |
| Wert plann'd from all eternity | I |
