Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI| That ocean you have late surveyed | A |
| Those rocks I too have seen | B |
| But I afflicted and dismayed | A |
| You tranquil and serene | B |
| - | |
| You from the flood controlling steep | C |
| Saw stretched before your view | D |
| With conscious joy the threatening deep | C |
| No longer such to you | D |
| - | |
| To me the waves that ceaseless broke | E |
| Upon the dangerous coast | F |
| Hoarsely and ominously spoke | E |
| Of all my treasure lost | G |
| - | |
| Your sea of troubles you have past | H |
| And found the peaceful shore | I |
| I tempest tost and wrecked at last | H |
| Come home to port no more | I |
William Cowper
