Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEFEGG HIHIJJ| What boat is this that bears | A |
| My soul on an ocean fanned | B |
| By new arriving airs | A |
| From an undiscovered land | B |
| Is this Love's magic boat and these | C |
| The waves of his unsounded seas | C |
| - | |
| Pangs of the soul's desire | D |
| My voyage swiftly urge | E |
| Day long I flee afire | F |
| To overtake the verge | E |
| But still into infinity | G |
| Escape before me sky and sea | G |

| Anchor my heart abide | H |
| And search the seas no more | I |
| Out of this water wide | H |
| Never shall dawn a shore | I |
| Till wave and sun have ceased to gleam | J |
| And wondrous truth dies out in dream | J |
