Summary: "Rhymes of a Rolling Stone" by Robert W. Service is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century. The work expresses themes of adventure, freedom, and the human experience, often reflecting a deep appreciation for nature and the simple joys of life.

The subsequent poem, "A Rolling Stone," captures the speaker's longing for freedom and a carefree existence, emphasizing a connection to the natural world.
