Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CD AEAFG BBB HIAHAJ BA AKLMAJBJNOPA| AS consequent from store of summer rains | A |
| Or wayward rivulets in autumn flowing | B |
| Or many a herb lined brook's reticulations | A |
| Or subterranean sea rills making for the sea | A |
| Songs of continued years I sing | B |
| - | |
| Life's ever modern rapids first soon soon to blend | C |
| With the old streams of death | D |
| - | |
| Some threading Ohio's farm fields or the woods | A |
| Some down Colorado's ca ons from sources of perpetual snow | E |
| Some half hid in Oregon or away southward in Texas | A |
| Some in the north finding their way to Erie Niagara Ottawa | F |
| Some to Atlantica's bays and so to the great salt brine | G |
| - | |
| In you whoe'er you are my book perusing | B |
| In I myself in all the world these currents flowing | B |
| All all toward the mystic ocean tending | B |
| - | |
| Currents for starting a continent new | H |
| Overtures sent to the solid out of the liquid | I |
| Fusion of ocean and land tender and pensive waves | A |
| Not safe and peaceful only waves rous'd and ominous too | H |
| Out of the depths the storm's abysmic waves who knows whence | A |
| Raging over the vast with many a broken spar and tatter'd sail | J |
| - | |
| Or from the sea of Time collecting vasting all I bring | B |
| A windrow drift of weeds and shells | A |
| - | |
| O little shells so curious convolute so limpid cold and voiceless | A |
| Will you not little shells to the tympans of temples held | K |
| Murmurs and echoes still call up eternity's music faint and far | L |
| Wafted inland sent from Atlantica's rim strains for the soul of the | M |
| prairies | A |
| Whisper'd reverberations chords for the ear of the West joyously | J |
| sounding | B |
| Your tidings old yet ever new and untranslatable | J |
| Infinitesimals out of my life and many a life | N |
| For not my life and years alone I give all all I give | O |
| These waifs from the deep cast high and dry | P |
| Wash'd on America's shores | A |
