Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDAAEDFDFGHIHJAKA KAAAFAGAJLALMNFNOPQR MFFFOFFFAAQAFSASGFFF| AS one singled out from his fellows | A |
| Enchanted I roam | B |
| Through night with its music and moonlight | C |
| And sea sheen and foam | B |
| 'Twas Beauty herself that awoke me | D |
| And whispered 'Arise | A |
| I have lit all the lamps of my palace | A |
| To gladden your eyes ' | E |
| I rose at her bidding and surely | D |
| 'Tis just as she said | F |
| The moon spilling splendour around me | D |
| Brimfull overhead | F |
| Rich perfumes from garden and garden | G |
| Rare blossoms outpour | H |
| The sea broad and bright to the skyline | I |
| Sings low to the shore | H |
| The beach a brave riband of silver | J |
| All radiant shines | A |
| 'Twixt the white of the surf on its sea edge | K |
| And the dark of the pines | A |
| And the white of the surf on its sea edge | K |
| A wonder light gives | A |
| And the dark of the pines is the darkness | A |
| Where mystery lives | A |
| Can it be that this scene goes unwitnessed | F |
| Except by my eyes | A |
| These splendours that start from the ocean | G |
| And rain from the skies | A |
| Unaware of the light and the wonder | J |
| In slumber sunk deep | L |
| Young and old they lie blind on their couches | A |
| Eyes lidded in sleep | L |
| Though pearl tinted breakers be falling | M |
| Unvisioned they fall | N |
| Oh Sleep art thou jealous of Beauty | F |
| To hold them in thrall | N |
| How I long for a magical bugle | O |
| Sweet throated and clear | P |
| To sound through their slumbers and wake them | Q |
| And summon them here | R |
| Then old men and young men forth coming | M |
| Would sigh their delight | F |
| And maidens white throated barefooted | F |
| In garments of white | F |
| And all would speak well of the bugle | O |
| And praise its sweet sound | F |
| That made them the guest folk of Beauty | F |
| In radiance gowned | F |
| Spell bound they would stand in her presence | A |
| Souls steeped in amaze | A |
| The thrill of her magic upon them | Q |
| Sea sheen and moonrays | A |
| Spell bound with the mystic enchantment | F |
| Till one in that throng | S |
| With a rapture exceeding all raptures | A |
| Of passion and song | S |
| Would beget of his musing a vision | G |
| As wondrous as she | F |
| Who was fashioned of dream stuff and moonlight | F |
| And foam of the sea | F |
