| On the looming land | A |
| Dost thou wave with thy white hand | A |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| I could think that thou art near | C |
| Thy sweet voice is in mine ear | D |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| While I listen all things seem | E |
| Singing in a singing dream | E |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Echoing in an echoing dream | E |

| Yon boat upon the sea | F |
| It floats 'twixt thee and me | F |
| I see the boatman listless lie | G |
| He cannot hear the cry | G |
| That in mine ears doth ring | H |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Doth it pass him o'er and o'er | I |
| Heard upon the shore behind | J |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Heard upon the ship before | K |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Like an arrow that can dart | L |
| Viewless thro' the viewless wind | J |
| Plain on the quivering string | H |
| And plain in the victim's heart | L |
| - | |

| Are there voices in the sky | G |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Am I mocked by the bright air | M |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| The empty air that everywhere | M |
| Silvers back the sung reply | G |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| While to and fro the tremulous accents fly | G |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Now shown now shy | G |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Now song now sigh | G |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Toy with the grasping heart that deems them nigh | G |
| Come like blown bells in sudden wind and high | G |
| Or far on furthest verge in lingering echoes die | G |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Farewell farewell farewell | B |

| Oh Love what strange dumb Fate | N |
| Hath broken into voice to see us hope | O |
| Surely we part to meet again | P |
| Like one struck blind I grope | O |
| In vain in vain | Q |
| I cannot hold a single sense to tell | B |
| The meaning of this melancholy bell | B |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| I touch them with my thought and small and great | N |
| They join the swaying swell | B |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Farewell farewell farewell | B |

| Aye when I felt thee falling | H |
| On this heaving breast | R |
| Aye when I felt thee prest | R |
| Nearer nearer nearer | I |
| Dearer dearer dearer | I |
| Aye while I saw thy face | S |
| In that long last embrace | S |
| The first the last the best | R |
| Aye while I held thee heart to heart | L |
| My soul had pushed off from the shore | K |
| And we were far apart | L |
| I heard her calling calling | H |
| From the sea of nevermore | K |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Fainter fainter like a bell | B |
| Rung from some receding ship | T |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| The far and further knell | B |
| Did hardly reach my lip | T |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Farewell farewell farewell | B |
| - | |

| Away you omens vain | Q |
| Away away | U |
| What will you not be driven | V |
| My heart is trembling to your augury | K |
| Hence Like a flight of seabirds at a gun | V |
| A thousand ways they scatter back to Heaven | V |
| Wheel lessening out of sight and swoop again as one | V |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Farewell farewell farewell | B |
| - | |

| Oh Love what fatal spell | B |
| Is winding winding round me to this singing | H |
| What hands unseen are flinging | H |
| The tightening mesh that I can feel too well | B |
| What viewless wings are winging | H |
| The siren music of this passing bell | B |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Farewell farewell farewell | B |
| - | |

| Arouse my heart arouse | W |
| This is the sea I strike these wooden walls | X |
| The sailors come and go at my command | A |
| I lift this cable with my hand | A |
| I loose it and it falls | X |
| Arouse she is not lost | Y |
| Thou art not plighted to a moonlight ghost | Z |
| But to a living spouse | A2 |
| Arouse we only part to meet again | P |
| Oh thou moody main | Q |
| Are thy mermaid cells a ringing | H |
| Are thy mermaid sisters singing | H |
| The saddest shell of every cell | B |
| Ringing still and ringing | H |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| To the sinking sighing singing | H |
| To the floating flying singing | H |
| To the deepening dying singing | H |
| In the swell | B |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| And the failing wailing ringing | H |
| The reaming dreaming ringing | H |
| Of fainter shell in deeper cell | B |
| To the sunken sunken singing | H |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Farewell farewell | B |
| Farewell farewell farewell | B |
