Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDD EEFFDD GGHHDD CCIJDD BBIIDD| Wan white mists upon the sea | A |
| East wind harping mournfully | B |
| All the sunken reefs along | C |
| Wail and heart break in its song | C |
| But adown the placid bay | D |
| Fisher folk keep holiday | D |
| - | |
| All the deeps beyond the bar | E |
| Call and murmur from afar | E |
| 'Plaining of a mighty woe | F |
| Where the great ships come and go | F |
| But adown the harbor gray | D |
| Fisher folk keep holiday | D |
| - | |
| When the cloudy heavens frown | G |
| And the sweeping rain comes down | G |
| Boats at anchorage must bide | H |
| In despite of time or tide | H |
| Making merry as they may | D |
| Fisher folk keep holiday | D |
| - | |
| Now is time for jest and song | C |
| All the idle shore along | C |
| Now is time for wooing dear | I |
| Maidens cannot choose but hear | J |
| Daffing toil and care away | D |
| Fisher folk keep holiday | D |
| - | |
| Oh the fretted reefs may wail | B |
| Every man has furled his sail | B |
| Oh the wind may moan in fear | I |
| Every lad is with his dear | I |
| Mirth and laughter have their way | D |
| Fisher folk keep holiday | D |
