| From rise of morn till set of sun | C |
| I've seen the mighty Mohawk run | C |
| And as I markt the woods of pine | D |
| Along his mirror darkly shine | D |
| Like tall and gloomy forms that pass | E |
| Before the wizard's midnight glass | E |
| And as I viewed the hurrying pace | F |
| With which he ran his turbid race | F |
| Rushing alike untried and wild | G |
| Through shades that frowned and flowers that smiled | G |
| Flying by every green recess | H |
| That wooed him to its calm caress | H |
| Yet sometimes turning with the wind | I |
| As if to leave one look behind | I |
| Oft have I thought and thinking sighed | J |
| How like to thee thou restless tide | J |
| May be the lot the life of him | A |
| Who roams along thy water's brim | A |
| Through what alternate wastes of woe | K |
| And flowers of joy my path may go | K |
| How many a sheltered calm retreat | L |
| May woo the while my weary feet | L |
| While still pursuing still unblest | L |
| I wander on nor dare to rest | L |
| But urgent as the doom that calls | M |
| Thy water to its destined falls | M |
| I feel the world's bewildering force | N |
| Hurry my heart's devoted course | N |
| From lapse to lapse till life be done | C |
| And the spent current cease to run | C |
| - | |
| One only prayer I dare to make | O |
| As onward thus my course I take | O |
| Oh be my falls as bright as thine | D |
| May heaven's relenting rainbow shine | D |
| Upon the mist that circles me | A |
| As soft as now it hangs o'er thee | A |
