Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKGKG LMLMGNGN OPOPNQNH| How oft I ve longed to gaze on thee | A |
| Thou proud and mighty deep | B |
| Thy vast horizon boundless free | A |
| Thy coast so rude and steep | B |
| And now entranced I breathless stand | C |
| Where earth and ocean meet | D |
| Whilst billows wash the golden sand | C |
| And break around my feet | D |
| - | |
| Lovely thou art when dawn s red light | E |
| Sheds o er thee its soft hue | F |
| Showing fair ships a gallant sight | E |
| Upon thy waters blue | F |
| And when the moonbeams softly pour | G |
| Their light on wave or glen | H |
| And diamond spray leaps on the shore | G |
| How lovely art thou then | H |
| - | |
| Still as I look faint shadows steal | I |
| O er thy calm heaving breast | J |
| And there are times I sadly feel | I |
| Thou art not thus at rest | J |
| And I bethink me of past tales | K |
| Of ships that left the shore | G |
| And meeting with thy fearful gales | K |
| Have ne er been heard of more | G |
| - | |
| They say thy depths hold treasures rare | L |
| Groves coral sands of gold | M |
| Pearls fitted for a monarch s wear | L |
| And gems of worth untold | M |
| But these could not to life restore | G |
| The idol of one home | N |
| Nor make brave hearts beat high once more | G |
| That sleep beneath thy foam | N |
| - | |
| But I must chase such thoughts away | O |
| They mar this happy hour | P |
| Remembering thou dost but obey | O |
| Thy Great Creator s power | P |
| And in my own fair inland home | N |
| Mysterious moaning main | Q |
| In dreams I ll see thy snow white foam | N |
| And frowning rocks again | H |
