Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBBB BBDEEDBB FFBBBBGG BBHFFHCC| Vague vague 'neath darkling waves | A |
| With emerald curving caves | A |
| For the arched skies | B |
| Red walled with dark dull gold | C |
| The Nixes' city old | C |
| Deep glimmering lies | B |
| And thro' the long green nights the spangling spars | B |
| Twinkle like milky stars | B |
| - | |
| Where the wind ripple plays | B |
| On tufts of dipping sprays | B |
| Sparkling we rock | D |
| With blooming fingers bare | E |
| Comb down our golden hair | E |
| In many a lock | D |
| While poured o'er naked ease of cool moist limbs | B |
| An amber glamour swims | B |
| - | |
| Or in the middle night | F |
| When cold damp fire flies light | F |
| Pale flitting brands | B |
| Down all the woodland aisles | B |
| With swift mysterious smiles | B |
| Link we white hands | B |
| And where the moonlight haunts the drowsy lake | G |
| Bask in its silver wake | G |
| - | |
| Come join come join our dance | B |
| While the warm starbeams glance | B |
| And the kind moon | H |
| Spills all her flowers of light | F |
| At the dark feet of Night | F |
| And soon full soon | H |
| Thou'lt sleep in shadowy halls where dim and cold | C |
| Our city's walled with gold | C |
