Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEFEDE G HBHB IJKJKJI G LBLB MNMNMNMN| Upon the Siren haunted seas between Fate's mythic shores | A |
| Within a world of moon and mist where dusk and daylight wed | B |
| I see a phantom galley and its hull is banked with oars | A |
| With ghostly oars that move to song a song of dreams long dead | B |
| - | |
| 'Oh we are sick of rowing here | C |
| With toil our arms are numb | D |
| With smiting year on weary year | E |
| Salt furrows of the foam | F |
| Our journey's end is never near | E |
| And will no nearer come | D |
| Beyond our reach the shores appear | E |
| Of far Elysium ' | - |

| - | |
| Within a land of cataracts and mountains old and sand | H |
| Beneath whose heavens ruins rise o'er which the stars burn red | B |
| I see a spectral cavalcade with crucifix in hand | H |
| And shadowy armor march and sing a song of dreams long dead | B |
| - | |
| 'Oh we are weary marching on | I |
| Our limbs are travel worn | J |
| With cross and sword from dawn to dawn | K |
| We wend with raiment torn | J |
| The leagues to go the leagues we've gone | K |
| Are sand and rock and thorn | J |
| The way is long to Avalon | I |
| Beyond the deeps of morn ' | - |
| - | |
| III | G |
| - | |
| They are the curs'd the souls who yearn and evermore pursue | L |
| The vision of a vain desire a splendor far ahead | B |
| To whom God gives the poet's dream without the grasp to do | L |
| The artist's hope without the scope between the quick and dead | B |
| - | |
| I too am weary toiling where | M |
| The winds and waters beat | N |
| When shall I ease the oar I bear | M |
| And rest my tired feet | N |
| When will the white moons cease to glare | M |
| The red suns veil their heat | N |
| And from the heights blow sweet the air | M |
| Of Love's divine retreat | N |
