| Whose Sound outbreathes its air | B |
| Of sharp sea salts | C |
| I see the movement up and down | A |
| As when she was there | B |
| Ships of all countries come and go | D |
| The bandsmen boom in the sun | E |
| A throbbing waltz | C |
| The schoolgirls laugh along the Hoe | D |
| As when she was one | E |

| I move away as the music rolls | F |
| The place seems not to mind | G |
| That she of old | H |
| The brightest of its native souls | F |
| Left it behind | G |
| Over this green aforedays she | I |
| On light treads went and came | J |
| Yea times untold | H |
| Yet none here knows her history | I |
| Has heard her name | J |
