| - | |
| All listlessly we float | B |
| Out seaward in the boat | B |
| That beareth Love | C |
| Our sails of purest snow | A |
| Bend to the blue below | A |
| And to the blue above | C |
| Where shall we land | D |
| - | |
| We drift upon a tide | E |
| Shoreless on every side | E |
| Save where the eye | F |
| Of Fancy sweeps far lands | G |
| Shelved slopingly with sands | G |
| Of gold and porphyry | H |
| Where shall we land | D |
| - | |
| The fairy isles we see | H |
| Loom up so mistily | A |
| So vaguely fair | I |
| We do not care to break | J |
| Fresh bubbles in our wake | J |
| To bend our course for there | I |
| Where shall we land | D |

| The warm winds of the deep | K |
| Have lulled our sails to sleep | K |
| And so we glide | E |
| Careless of wave or wind | L |
| Or change of any kind | L |
| Or turn of any tide | E |
| Where shall we land | D |
| - | |
| We droop our dreamy eyes | M |
| Where our reflection lies | M |
| Steeped in the sea | H |
| And in an endless fit | N |
| Of languor smile on it | N |
| And its sweet mimicry | H |
| Where shall we land | D |
| - | |
| 'Where shall we land ' God's grace | O |
| I know not any place | O |
| So fair as this | P |
| Swung here between the blue | A |
| Of sea and sky with you | A |
| To ask me with a kiss | P |
| 'Where shall we land ' | - |
