Where can I find a Poets' Retreat?
And would it be crowded or bare?
Would I have to bring pencils with me?
Or would they supply them there?

Would there be little desks scattered about?
Would I choose one or be assigned a seat?
Could I come and go just as I please?
How many interesting people would I meet?

When I left would I be that much wiser?
Could I easily strike out a great poem?
Would I come to love the Retreat so much,
That I'd never want to go back home?

Would there be a place with complete silence,
That otherwise is impossible to find?
Would I leave with appreciation for nature?
And could I finally clear my mind?
