| Lend me an ear | B |
| While I read you here | B |
| A page from your history | C |
| Old cliff not known | D |
| To your solid stone | D |
| Yet yours inseparably | C |

| Near to your crown | E |
| There once sat down | E |
| A silent listless pair | F |
| And the sunset ended | G |
| And dark descended | G |
| And still the twain sat there | F |

| Past your jutting head | A |
| Then a line ship sped | A |
| Lit brightly as a city | C |
| And she sobbed 'There goes | H |
| A man who knows | H |
| I am his beyond God's pity ' | - |

| He slid apart | I |
| Who had thought her heart | I |
| His own and not aboard | J |
| A bark sea bound | K |
| That night they found | K |
| Between them lay a sword | J |
