Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJIJ JKJK LGLG| ON unknown paths I falter forth | A |
| A homeless wand'rer in the world | B |
| Doubtful I flit across the earth | C |
| Whither by blowing fates I'm hurled | B |
| - | |
| I grope about the pathless wood | D |
| I tread along the boundless plain | E |
| And with the wind's capricious mood | F |
| I sink and rise upon the main | E |
| - | |
| The lonely cloud within the sky | G |
| That by conflicting gales is torn | H |
| Sways to and fro no more than I | G |
| Now eastward and now westward borne | H |
| - | |
| The crested billow on the deep | I |
| Knows to which shore its current lies | J |
| The blast the realms which he must sweep | I |
| The ant the hill to which it hies | J |
| - | |
| The stork that seeks the tropic glows | J |
| It knoweth whither it is bound | K |
| And the revolving planet knows | J |
| The circle of its luminous round | K |
| - | |
| But I confus d seek a way | L |
| In darkness here I fall I sigh | G |
| Upon a broken wing I stray | L |
| And all my help lies in a cry | G |
