Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGBGB HIHIJBJB| I sing no idle songs of dalliance days | A |
| No dreams Elysian inspire my rhyming | B |
| I have no Celia to enchant my lays | A |
| No pipes of Pan have set my heart to chiming | B |
| I am no wordsmith dripping gems divine | C |
| Into the golden chalice of a sonnet | D |

| A pride in man a deathless faith in woman | F |
| Still red blood calls still rings the valiant fray | G |
| Adventure beacons through the summer gloaming | B |
| Oh long and long and long will be the day | G |
| Ere I come homing | B |

| This earth is ours to love lute brush and pen | H |
| They are but tongues to tell of life sincerely | I |
| The thaumaturgic Day the might of men | H |
| O God of Scribes grant us to grave them clearly | I |
| Grant heart that homes in heart then all is well | J |
| Honey is honey sweet howe'er the hiving | B |
| Each to his work his wage at evening bell | J |
| The strength of striving | B |
