Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLKL DMDMNKNK| Rugged men and tough men these | A |
| Men of the lonely ways | B |
| Hard and sturdy as their trees | A |
| Where the timbered ranges raise | B |
| Their ragged crests to rake the sky | C |
| For the call has come again | D |
| As oft it came in the years gone by | C |
| And the Bush sends forth her men | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| Silent men with eyes alert | E |
| Tramping the hillside steep | F |
| Where the giant trees at the mountain's skirt | E |
| Their lonely vigil keep | F |
| Fighting their way where the tangled fern | G |
| Covers an ancient track | H |
| Plying the lore that the bushmen learn | G |
| Thro' the lonely years outback | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| The men of the forest are out once more | I |
| Searching early and late | J |
| As they searched thro' many a day before | I |
| For many a missing mate | J |
| Or a wandering stranger gone astray | K |
| In the land of the towering tree | L |
| That has become for all today | K |
| The land of tragedy | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| And while the task is a task for men | D |
| Ne'er will they call a stop | M |
| They will tramp the wild bushland again | D |
| And tramp until they drop | M |
| With never a thought for the hours ill spared | N |
| From the labor of the day | K |
| To the men of the forest whom fate has dared | N |
| There's nought but to obey | K |
