| Would that the winds might only blow | B |
| As they blew in the golden long ago | B |
| Laden with odors of Orient isles | C |
| Where ever and ever the sunshine smiles | C |
| And the bright sands blend with the shady trees | D |
| And the lotus blooms in the midst of these | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| Warm winds won from the midland vales | E |
| To where the tress of the Siren trails | E |
| O'er the flossy tip of the mountain phlox | E |
| And the bare limbs twined in the crested rocks | E |
| High above as the seagulls flap | F |
| Their lopping wings at the thunder clap | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| Ah That the winds might rise and blow | B |
| The great surge up from the port below | B |
| Bloating the sad lank silken sails | E |
| Of the Argo out with the swift sweet gales | E |
| That blew from Colchis when Jason had | G |
| His love's full will and his heart was glad | G |
| When Medea's voice was soft and low | B |
| Ah That the winds might rise and blow | B |
