Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DACA CEFE AGAG| Lo I have loved thee long long have I yearned and entreated | A |
| Tell me how I may win thee tell me how I must woo | B |
| Shall I creep to thy white feet in guise of a humble lover | C |
| Shall I croon in mild petition murmuring vows anew | B |
| - | |
| Shall I stretch my arms unto thee biding thy maiden coyness | D |
| Under the silver of morning under the purple of night | A |
| Taming my ancient rudeness checking my heady clamor | C |
| Thus is it thus I must woo thee oh my delight | A |
| - | |
| Nay 'tis no way of the sea thus to be meekly suitor | C |
| I shall storm thee away with laughter wrapped in my beard of snow | E |
| With the wildest of billows for chords I shall harp thee a song for thy bridal | F |
| A mighty lyric of love that feared not nor would forego | E |
| - | |
| With a red gold wedding ring mined from the caves of sunset | A |
| Fast shall I bind thy faith to my faith evermore | G |
| And the stars will wait on our pleasure the great north wind will trumpet | A |
| A thunderous marriage march for the nuptials of sea and shore | G |
