Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIKLMNM OPOQERER| Not from the sands or cloven rocks | A |
| Thou rapid Arve thy waters flow | B |
| Nor earth within her bosom locks | A |
| Thy dark unfathomed wells below | B |
| Thy springs are in the cloud thy stream | C |
| Begins to move and murmur first | D |
| Where ice peaks feel the noonday beam | C |
| Or rain storms on the glacier burst | D |
| - | |
| Born where the thunder and the blast | E |
| And morning's earliest light are born | F |
| Thou rushest swoln and loud and fast | E |
| By these low homes as if in scorn | F |
| Yet humbler springs yield purer waves | G |
| And brighter glassier streams than thine | H |
| Sent up from earth's unlighted caves | G |
| With heaven's own beam and image shine | H |
| - | |
| Yet stay for here are flowers and trees | I |
| Warm rays on cottage roofs are here | J |
| And laugh of girls and hum of bees | I |
| Here linger till thy waves are clear | K |
| Thou heedest not thou hastest on | L |
| From steep to steep thy torrent falls | M |
| Till mingling with the mighty Rhone | N |
| It rests beneath Geneva's walls | M |
| - | |
| Rush on but were there one with me | O |
| That loved me I would light my hearth | P |
| Here where with God's own majesty | O |
| Are touched the features of the earth | Q |
| By these old peaks white high and vast | E |
| Still rising as the tempests beat | R |
| Here would I dwell and sleep at last | E |
| Among the blossoms at their feet | R |
