Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA DEFE GHIH AJAJ KLKL| The foamy waves are swishing | A |
| As patiently we thud | B |
| But O the wave of wishing | A |
| That surges in my blood | B |
| - | |
| Along the ocean's rim now | C |
| With never ceasing song | A |
| I wish that I could swim now | C |
| And shove the boat along | A |

| Who know a better way | E |

| The slow craft plunges nor'ward | G |
| And welters on the blue | H |

| And swooping home to you | H |
| - | |
| Your magic love is tingling | A |
| In every vein of me | J |
| And you and I are mingling | A |
| In spite of rolling sea | J |
| - | |
| Yet O that I could borrow | K |
| That albatross's flight | L |
| To morrow Love to morrow | K |
| Is our supreme delight | L |
