| Toast it full and fairly when the winter lowers | A |
| Speak ye low my merry men sitting at your ease | B |
| Harken to the homeless Drift in the roaring seas | B |
| - | |
| Here s to the life we shall never live on earth | C |
| Cut for us awry awry ages ere the birth | C |
| Set the teeth and meet it well wind upon the shore | D |
| Like a lion in the face look the Nevermore | D |

| Here s to the love we were never let to win | E |
| What of that a many shells have a pearl within | E |
| Some are mated with the gold in the light of day | F |
| Some are buried fathoms deep in the seas away | F |
| - | |
| Here s to the selves we shall never never be | G |
| We re the drift of the world and the tangle of the sea | G |
| It s far beyond the Pleiad it s out beyond the sun | H |
| Where the rootless shall be rooted when the wander year is done | H |
