He longed to be a Back Blocks Bard	A
And fame he wished to win	B
He wrote at night and studied hard	A
He read The Bulletin	C
He sent in stuff unceasingly	D
But couldn t get it through	E
And so at last he came to me	F
To see what I could do	E
	-
The poet s light was in his eye	G
He aimed to be a man	H
He bought a bluey and a fly	G
A brand new billy can	H
I showed him how to roll his swag	I
And sling it with the best	J
I gave him my old water bag	I
And pointed to the west	J
	-
Now you can take the train as far	K
As Blazes if you like	I
The wealthy go by motor car	K
Some travellers go by bike	I
They race it through without a rest	J
And find it very tame	L
But if you tramp it to the west	J
You ll get there just the same	L
	-
No matter if the hour is late	M
The morning goes Out Back	I
You do not need a dog nor mate	M
You ll find them on the track	I
You must avoid such deadly rhymes	N
As self and elf and shelf	O
But were it as in other times	N
I d go with you myself	O
	-
Those days are done for me but ah	P
On hills where you shall be	F
The wattle and the waratah	M
Are good to smell and see	F
But there s a scent my heart believes	Q
That travellers set higher	R
Than wattle tis the dried gum leaves	Q
That light the evening fire	R
	-
The evening fire and morning fire	R
Are one fire in the Bush	S
You ll find the points that you require	R
As towards the west you push	S
And as you pass by ancient ways	T
Old camps and mountain springs	U
The spirits of the Roaring Days	T
Will whisper many things	U
	-
The lonely ridge and gully belt	M
The spirit of the whole	D
It must be seen it must be felt	M
Must sink into your soul	D
The summer silence creek oaks sigh	G
The windy rainy woosh	S
Tis known to other men and I	G
The Spirit of the Bush	S
	-
So on and on through dust and heat	M
When past the spurs you be	F
And you shall meet whom you shall meet	M
And see what you shall see	F
You need not claim the stranger s due	M
They yield it everywhere	V
And mateship is a thing that you	M
Must take for granted there	V
	-
And in the land of Lord knows where	V
Right up and furthest out	M
You find a new Australia there	V
That we know nought about	M
Live as they live fight as they fight	M
Succeed as they succeed	M
And then come back again and write	M
For all the world to read	M
	-
I ve got a note from Hungerford	M
Tis written frank and fair	V
The bushman s grim philosophy	F
The bushman s grin are there	V
And tramping on through rain and drought	M
Unlooked for and unmissed	M
I may have sent to furthest out	M
The Great Bush Novelist	M
