Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCBCB BDBDEBFB BGBHBABA BHHHHHHH| Landward the tide setteth buoyantly breezily | A |
| Landward the waves ripple sparkling and free | B |
| Ho the proud ship like a thing of life easily | B |
| Gracefully sweeps o'er the white crested sea | B |
| In from the far away lands she is steering now | C |
| Straight for her anchorage fearless and free | B |
| Lo as I gaze how she seems to be nearing now | C |
| Sun lighted shores a still haven and me | B |
| - | |
| Landward the tide setteth mark my proud argosy | B |
| As the breeze flutters her pennons of snow | D |
| Wafting from far the glad mariner's melody | B |
| O'er the blue waters in rhythmical flow | D |
| Tell me oh soul of mine what is the freightage fair | E |
| 'Neath her white wings that she beareth to thee | B |
| Treasures of golden ore gems from Golconda's shore | F |
| Lo she is bringing me over the sea | B |

| Seaward the tide setteth hoarsely and heavily | B |
| Seaward the tide setteth steady and stern | G |
| Oh my proud ship she has missed the still haven see | B |
| Baffled and drifting far out she is borne | H |
| Far from the shore and the weak arms that helplessly | B |
| Wildly are stretched toward the lessening sail | A |
| Far far from shore and the white hands that hopelessly | B |
| Flutter in vain in the loud shrieking gale | A |
| - | |
| Seaward the tide setteth oh my rich argosy | B |
| Freighted with treasures ungrasped and unwon | H |
| Oh the dark rocks the dread crash the fierce agony | H |
| And seaward more madly the tide rushes on | H |
| Gems and red gold won from Earth's richest treasury | H |
| Straw the dark floor of the pitiless sea | H |
| Buried for aye and my wealth freighted argosy | H |
| Fades like the mist from the ocean and me | H |
