Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCB EBFB GBGB H| Life swelleth in a whitening wave | A |
| And dasheth thee and me apart | B |
| I sweep out seaward be thou brave | A |
| And reach the shore Sweetheart | B |

| Beat back the backward thrusting sea | C |
| Thy weak white arm his blows may thwart | D |

| Now Christ thee soothe upon the Shore | G |
| My lissome armed sea Britomart | B |
| I sweep out seaward never more | G |
| To find the Shore Sweetheart | B |
