Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGH| BEHOLD the hour the boat arrive | A |
| Thou goest the darling of my heart | B |
| Sever'd from thee can I survive | A |
| But Fate has will'd and we must part | B |
| I'll often greet the surging swell | C |
| Yon distant Isle will often hail | D |
| E'en here I took the last farewell | C |
| There latest mark'd her vanish'd sail | D |
| Along the solitary shore | E |
| While flitting sea fowl round me cry | F |
| Across the rolling dashing roar | E |
| I'll westward turn my wistful eye | F |
| Happy thou Indian grove I'll say | G |
| Where now my Nancy's path may be | H |
| While thro' thy sweets she loves to stray | G |
| O tell me does she muse on me | H |
