Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDF DBGHHF BHBEIFJH| THOU who hast slept all night upon the storm | A |
| Waking renew'd on thy prodigious pinions | B |
| Burst the wild storm above it thou ascended'st | C |
| And rested on the sky thy slave that cradled thee | D |
| Now a blue point far far in heaven floating | E |
| As to the light emerging here on deck I watch thee | D |
| Myself a speck a point on the world's floating vast | F |
| - | |
| Far far at sea | D |
| After the night's fierce drifts have strewn the shores with wrecks | B |
| With re appearing day as now so happy and serene | G |
| The rosy and elastic dawn the flashing sun | H |
| The limpid spread of air cerulean | H |
| Thou also re appearest | F |
| - | |
| Thou born to match the gale thou art all wings | B |
| To cope with heaven and earth and sea and hurricane | H |
| Thou ship of air that never furl'st thy sails | B |
| Days even weeks untired and onward through spaces realms gyrating | E |
| At dusk that look'st on Senegal at morn America | I |
| That sport'st amid the lightning flash and thunder cloud | F |
| In them in thy experience had'st thou my soul | J |
| What joys what joys were thine | H |
