Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DEEDFG HIIJKK LMMLNN OPPOQQ OREOSS TNNTOO| Where art thou oh my Beautiful Afar | A |
| I seek thee sadly till the day is done | B |
| And o'er the splendour of the setting sun | B |
| Cold calm and silvery floats the evening star | A |
| Where art thou Ah where art thou hid in light | C |
| That haunts me yet still wraps thee from my sight | C |
| - | |
| Not wholly ah not wholly still Love's eyes | D |
| Trace thy dim beauty through the mystic veil | E |
| Like the young moon that glimmers faint and pale | E |
| At noontide through the sun web of the skies | D |
| But ah I ope mine arms and thou art gone | F |
| And only Memory knows where thou hast shone | G |
| - | |
| Night Night the tender the compassionate | H |
| Binds thee gem like amid her raven hair | I |
| I dream I see I feel that thou art there | I |
| And stand all weeping at Sleep's golden gate | J |
| Till the leaves open and the glory streams | K |
| Down through my tranc d soul in radiant dreams | K |
| - | |
| Too short too short soon comes the chilly morn | L |
| To shake from love's boughs all their sleep born bloom | M |
| And wake my heart back to its bitter doom | M |
| Sending me through the land down cast forlorn | L |
| Whilst thou my Beautiful art far away | N |
| Bearing the brightness from my joyless day | N |
| - | |
| I stand and gaze across Earth's fairest sea | O |
| And still the plashing of the restless main | P |
| Sounds like the clashing of a prisoner's chain | P |
| That binds me oh my Beautiful from thee | O |
| Oh sea bird flashing past on snow white wing | Q |
| Bear my soul to her in thy wandering | Q |
| - | |
| My heart is weary gazing o'er the sea | O |
| O'er the long dreary lines that close the sky | R |
| Through solemn sun sets ever mournfully | E |
| Gazing in vain my Beautiful for thee | O |
| Hearing the sullen waves for evermore | S |
| Dashing around me on the lonely shore | S |
| - | |
| But tides creep lazily about the sands | T |
| Washing frail landmarks Lethe like away | N |
| And though their records perish day by day | N |
| Still stand I ever with close clasp d hands | T |
| Gazing far westward o'er the heaving sea | O |
| Gazing in vain my Beautiful for thee | O |
