| With rhythmical flow | B |
| Leaping and springing | A |
| O light hearted Sault | C |
| Tossing up snowy hands | D |
| In thy glad play | E |
| Shaking out dewy locks | F |
| Bright with the spray | E |
| Joyously ever | G |
| Thy bright waters go | B |
| Yet wearying never | G |
| O beautiful Sault | C |
| - | |
| Kingly Superior | G |
| Leaps to thy arms | H |
| And all his broad waters | I |
| Are bright with thy charms | H |
| They sparkle and glitter | G |
| And flash in their play | E |
| Chasing ripple and rainbow | B |
| Away and away | E |
| Weary I ween | J |
| Of his solemn repose | K |
| Gaily the mighty Flood | L |
| Flashes and glows | K |
| And buoyantly brightly | M |
| Fleet footed or slow | B |
| Doth dance with thee lightly | M |
| Unwearying Sault | C |
| - | |
| If I were a fairy | M |
| I'd dance with thee too | N |
| Daily and nightly | M |
| Unfalt'ring and true | N |
| In sunlight and starlight | O |
| In darkness and day | E |
| As free as the breezes | P |
| As glad in our play | E |
| We'd sing in the darkness | Q |
| We'd laugh in the light | O |
| We'd whirl in the eddies | R |
| At noonday and night | O |
| We'd toss up the waters | I |
| In sunshine to see | M |
| How they'd fling us back di'monds | S |
| And gold in their glee | M |
| Such amethysts topazes | S |
| Rubies and pearls | S |
| As we'd strew o'er the tide | T |
| In our innocent whirls | S |
| And never be lonely | M |
| Or weariness know | B |
| Ourselves and us only | M |
| O light hearted Sault | C |
| - | |
| Yet the dance is thine own | J |
| And the song and the glee | M |
| Thou dwellest alone | J |
| Untrammelled and free | M |
| Our ships may not glide | T |
| O'er thy bosom our feet | U |
| May not trace out one path | V |
| Or explore one retreat | U |
| We may hollow our channels | S |
| To left or to right | O |
| And glide on our way | E |
| With thy gambols in sight | O |
| Yet this and this only | M |
| Of thee we may know | B |
| Thou lone but not lonely | M |
| Free fetterless Sault | C |
| - | |
| Farewell ye bright waters | S |
| We part and for aye | W |
| My pathway leads on | J |
| O'er the billows away | E |
| These feet will grow weary | M |
| In life's busy mart | X |
| These eyes be oft tear dim | Y |
| And heavy this heart | X |
| But thou wilt sing on | J |
| In thy joyous unrest | Z |
| Unchanging unwearying | B |
| Buoyant and blest | Z |
| While the slow footed centuries | S |
| Glide on their way | E |
| And nations grow hoary | M |
| And sink in decay | E |
| Thou tireless and tameless | S |
| Unchecked in thy flow | B |
| Shalt sing on as ever | G |
| O beautiful Sault | C |
