Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDEAEFFGHIIJKLML KMNNOPQQRP| On Kennack Sands the sun | A |
| Shines and the fresh wind blows | B |
| Moulding pale banks anew | C |
| Where the sea holly grows | B |
| Waters softly blue | C |
| And exquisitely clear | D |
| Meet the o'er arching sky | E |
| O'er them the breezes run | A |
| There may'st thou idly lie | E |
| And still find new delights | F |
| Watching the gulls' white flights | F |
| Above that lonely place | G |
| Listen nor ever hear | H |
| A single human sound | I |
| To spoil the free profound | I |
| Aerial quietness | J |
| But when thou'rt gone the night | K |
| On Kennack comes and soon | L |
| Lovely beyond dreams | M |
| Arises the round moon | L |
| In whose trembling light | K |
| The rough splendour gleams | M |
| Of the crested sea | N |
| Ah could'st thou there then be | N |
| But mortal ears can hear not | O |
| What those pale sands hear then | P |
| Sounds not of mortal birth | Q |
| Laughter and dance and mirth | Q |
| Of the golden haired sea fairies | R |
| Mermaidens and mermen | P |
