Rhyme Scheme: AB CD CE FGHIJ KC| ABOARD at a ship's helm | A |
| A young steersman steering with care | B |
| - | |
| A bell through fog on a sea coast dolefully ringing | C |
| An ocean bell O a warning bell rock'd by the waves | D |
| - | |
| O you give good notice indeed you bell by the sea reefs ringing | C |
| Ringing ringing to warn the ship from its wreck place | E |
| - | |
| For as on the alert O steersman you mind the bell's admonition | F |
| The bows turn the freighted ship tacking speeds away under her | G |
| gray sails | H |
| The beautiful and noble ship with all her precious wealth speeds | I |
| away gaily and safe | J |

| But O the ship the immortal ship O ship aboard the ship | K |
| O ship of the body ship of the soul voyaging voyaging voyaging | C |
