Rhyme Scheme: ABBB ACCC ADDD AAA EEE| I | A |
| O the opal and the sapphire of that wandering western sea | B |
| And the woman riding high above with bright hair flapping free | B |
| The woman whom I loved so and who loyally loved me | B |
| - | |
| I I | A |
| The pale mews plained below us and the waves seemed far away | C |
| In a nether sky engrossed in saying their ceaseless babbling say | C |
| As we laughed light heartedly aloft on that clear sunned March day | C |
| - | |
| III | A |
| A little cloud then cloaked us and there flew an irised rain | D |
| And the Atlantic dyed its levels with a dull misfeatured stain | D |
| And then the sun burst out again and purples prinked the main | D |
| - | |
| IV | - |
| Still in all its chasmal beauty bulks old Beeny to the sky | A |
| And shall she and I not go there once again now March is nigh | A |
| And the sweet things said in that March say anew there by and by | A |
| - | |
| V | - |
| What if still in chasmal beauty looms that wild weird western shore | E |
| The woman now is elsewhere whom the ambling pony bore | E |
| And nor knows nor cares for Beeny and will laugh there nevermore | E |
