Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF CGCG HHHH IJIJ| Hark oh hark the elfin laughter | A |
| All the little waves along | B |

| All the gulls are out delighting | C |
| In a wild uncharted quest | D |
| See the first red sunshine smiting | C |
| Silver sheen of wing and breast | D |

| Ho the sunrise rainbow hearted | E |
| Steals athwart the misty brine | F |

| Is a sweeter thing to me | G |

| Who would drowze in dull devotion | H |
| To his ease when dark is done | H |
| And upon its breast the ocean | H |
| Like a jewel wears the sun | H |

| Up forsake a lazy pillow | I |
| Calls the sea from cleft and cave | J |
| Ho for antic wind and billow | I |
| When the morn is on the wave | J |
