Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE ABGBHEIE| It came with the threat of a waning moon | A |
| And the wail of an ebbing tide | B |
| But many a woman has lived for less | C |
| And many a man has died | B |
| For life upon life took hold and passed | D |
| Strong in a fate set free | E |
| Out of the deep into the dark | F |
| On for the years to be | E |
| - | |
| Between the gleam of a waning moon | A |
| And the song of an ebbing tide | B |
| Chance upon chance of love and death | G |
| Took wing for the world so wide | B |
| Leaf out of leaf is the way of the land | H |
| Wave out of wave of the sea | E |
| And who shall reckon what lives may live | I |
| In the life that we bade to be | E |
