Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGH DDIIDDJJDDG KKLLBBKKDMG| Not for any airs and graces | A |
| When to lonely silent places | B |
| Men return in memory | C |
| Come these kindly thoughts of me | C |
| But they hear again my calling | D |
| Where the dappled moonlight falling | D |
| Mid the shadows of the gums | E |
| Weaves strange patterns and there comes | E |
| Blending with the hobble's jingle | F |
| As the faint bush odors mingle | F |
| With the smell of wood fire smoke | G |
| Suddenly my call 'Mo poke ' | H |
| - | |
| Now a weary swagman camping | D |
| After miles of mountain tramping | D |
| Now mid spinifex and sand | I |
| A drover of the overland | I |
| Now a timber getter sitting | D |
| In his hut the firelight flitting | D |
| O'er his old face lost in dreams | J |
| Now the man who punches teams | J |
| Where the blacksoil plains go rolling | D |
| Now a fossicker pot holing | D |
| Hopeful ever ever broke | G |
| Hears me in the night 'Mo poke ' | - |
| - | |
| Never while one bushland lover | K |
| Camps beneath the great sky's cover | K |
| And my call comes once again | L |
| To the ears of lonely men | L |
| Never while to silent places | B |
| Memory of old day traces | B |
| Olden pictures in the fire | K |
| And men dream of youth's desire | K |
| Dream again of youth's high daring | D |
| Never while men yet go faring | M |
| Forth beyond the ken of folk | G |
| Shall my night call fail 'Mo poke ' | - |
