| in the Magazines and Newspapers | B |
| - | |
| Ah they are passing passing by | C |
| Wonderful songs but born to die | C |
| Cries from the infinite human seas | D |
| Waves thrice winged with harmonies | D |
| Here I stand on a pier in the foam | E |
| Seeing the songs to the beach go home | E |
| Dying in sand while the tide flows back | F |
| As it flowed of old in its fated track | F |
| Oh hurrying tide that will not hear | G |
| Your own foam children dying near | H |
| Is there no refuge house of song | I |
| No home no haven where songs belong | I |
| Oh precious hymns that come and go | J |
| You perish and I love you so | J |
