Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEECC| Said Grenfell to my spirit You ve been writing very free | A |
| Of the charms of other places and you don t remember me | A |
| You have claimed another native place and think it s Nature s law | B |
| Since you never paid a visit to a town you never saw | B |
| So you sing of Mudgee Mountains willowed stream and grassy flat | C |
| But I put a charm upon you and you won t get over that | C |
| O said Grenfell to my spirit Though you write of breezy peaks | D |
| Golden Gullies wattle sidings and the pools in she oak creeks | D |
| Of the place your kin were born in and the childhood that you knew | E |
| And your father s distant Norway though it has some claim on you | E |
| Though you sing of dear old Mudgee and the home on Pipeclay Flat | C |
| You were born on Grenfell goldfield and you can t get over that | C |
