Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD ECECFGFG HBHBIIII JIJIIKIK| How often have I started out | A |
| With no thought in my noodle | B |
| And wandered here and there about | A |
| Where fancy bade me toddle | B |
| Till feeling faunlike in my glee | C |
| I've voiced some gay distiches | D |
| Returning joyfully to tea | C |
| A poem in my britches | D |
| - | |
| A squatting on a thymy slope | E |
| With vast of sky about me | C |
| I've scribbled on an envelope | E |
| The rhymes the hills would shout me | C |
| The couplets that the trees would call | F |
| The lays the breezes proffered | G |
| Oh no I didn't think at all | F |
| I took what Nature offered | G |
| - | |
| For that's the way you ought to write | H |
| Without a trace of trouble | B |
| Be super charged with high delight | H |
| And let the words out bubble | B |
| Be voice of vale and wood and stream | I |
| Without design or proem | I |
| Then rouse from out a golden dream | I |
| To find you've made a poem | I |
| - | |
| So I'll go forth with mind a blank | J |
| And sea and sky will spell me | I |
| And lolling on a thymy bank | J |
| I'll take down what they tell me | I |
| As Mother Nature speaks to me | I |
| Her words I'll gaily docket | K |
| So I'll come singing home to tea | I |
| A poem in my pocket | K |
