Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEABECFFDGHHIJK LILDDMMFNO| Now I am a plant a weed | A |
| Bending and swinging | B |
| On a rocky ledge | C |
| And now I am a long brown grass | D |
| Fluttering like flame | E |
| I am a reed | A |
| An old shell singing | B |
| For ever the same | E |
| A drift of sedge | C |
| A white white stone | F |
| A bone | F |
| Until I pass | D |
| Into sand again | G |
| And spin and blow | H |
| To and fro to and fro | H |
| On the edge of the sea | I |
| In the fading light | J |
| For the light fades | K |
| - | |
| But if you were to come you would not say | L |
| She is not waiting here for me | I |
| She has forgotten Have we not in play | L |
| Disguised ourselves as weed and stones and grass | D |
| While the strange ships did pass | D |
| Gently gravely leaving a curl of foam | M |
| That uncurled softly about our island home | M |
| Bubbles of foam that glittered on the stone | F |
| Like rainbows Look darling No they are gone | N |
| And the white sails have melted into the sailing sky | O |
