They are rhymes rudely strung with intent less	A
Of sound than of words	B
In lands where bright blossoms are scentless	B
And songless bright birds	B
Where with fire and fierce drought on her tresses	B
Insatiable Summer oppresses	B
Sere woodlands and sad wildernesses	B
And faint flocks and herds	B
	-
Where in dreariest days when all dews end	C
And all winds are warm	D
Wild Winter's large flood gates are loosen'd	E
And floods freed by storm	D
From broken up fountain heads dash on	F
Dry deserts with long pent up passion	G
Here rhyme was first framed without fashion	G
Song shaped without form	D
	-
Whence gather'd The locust's glad chirrup	H
May furnish a stave	I
The ring of a rowel and stirrup	H
The wash of a wave	I
The chaunt of the marsh frog in rushes	B
That chimes through the pauses and hushes	B
Of nightfall the torrent that gushes	B
The tempests that rave	I
	-
In the deep'ning of dawn when it dapples	B
The dusk of the sky	J
With streaks like the redd'ning of apples	B
The ripening of rye	J
To eastward when cluster by cluster	K
Dim stars and dull planets that muster	K
Wax wan in a world of white lustre	K
That spreads far and high	J
	-
In the gathering of night gloom o'erhead in	L
The still silent change	M
All fire flushed when forest trees redden	G
On slopes of the range	M
When the gnarl'd knotted trunks Eucalyptian	G
Seem carved like weird columns Egyptian	G
With curious device quaint inscription	G
And hieroglyph strange	M
	-
In the Spring when the wattle gold trembles	B
'Twixt shadow and shine	G
When each dew laden air draught resembles	B
A long draught of wine	G
When the sky line's blue burnish'd resistance	B
Makes deeper the dreamiest distance	B
Some song in all hearts hath existence	B
Such songs have been mine	G
	-
They came in all guises some vivid	N
To clasp and to keep	H
Some sudden and swift as the livid	O
Blue thunder flame's leap	H
This swept through the first breath of clover	K
With memories renew'd to the rover	K
That flash'd while the black horse turn'd over	K
Before the long sleep	H
	-
To you having cunning to colour	K
A page with your pen	G
That through dull days and nights even duller	K
Long years ago ten	G
Fair pictures in fever afforded	N
I send these rude staves roughly worded	O
By one in whose brain stands recorded	N
As clear now as then	G
	-
The great rush of grey 'Northern water'	K
The green ridge of bank	P
The 'sorrel' with curved sweep of quarter	K
Curl'd close to clean flank	P
The Royalist saddlefast squarely	Q
And where the bright uplands stretch fairly	Q
Behind beyond pistol shot barely	Q
The Roundheaded rank	P
	-
A long launch with clinging of muscles	B
And clenching of teeth	R
The loose doublet ripples and rustles	B
The swirl shoots beneath	R
Enough In return for your garland	E
In lieu of the flowers from your far land	S
Take wild growth of dreamland or starland	S
Take weeds for your wreath	R
	-
Yet rhyme had not fail'd me for reason	G
Nor reason for rhyme	T
Sweet Song had I sought you in season	G
And found you in time	T
You beckon in your bright beauty yonder	K
And I waxing fainter yet fonder	K
Now weary too soon when I wander	K
Now fall when I climb	T
	-
It matters but little in the long run	G
The weak have some right	S
Some share in the race that the strong run	G
The fight the strong fight	S
If words that are worthless go westward	S
Yet the worst word shall be as the best word	S
In the day when all riot sweeps restward	S
In darkness or light	S
