For Masefield, this tour was significant in that it was during this time that he matured as a public speaker and realized his ability to touch the emotions of his audience with his style of speaking. He learned to speak publicly with his own heart, rather than from dry scripted prepared speeches, and this trip gave him much skill in speaking impromptu to large groups. Towards the end of his trip in America, both Yale and Harvard Universities conferred honorary Doctorates of Letters, important recognition by American Academia of the talents of the British Masefield.

Masefield entered the decade of the 1920's as a now accomplished and respected writer and author. His family was finally able to settle in a somewhat rural setting, not far from Oxford, on property where he was able to enjoy his woodlands and country atmosphere and again delight in wild birds, and the natural beauty of the outdoors. Masefield took up a hobby of beekeeping, looked after a herd of goats as well as keeping poultry. One of his favourite places to write was in his study set out in the middle of a gorse bush. From here, his produced a variety of works including plays, novels, lectures and speeches, children's books, but of course, he felt his true calling was in poetry, and his efforts in this regard were the most important to him. Masefield continued to meet with success, and in fact the 1923 edition of "Collected Poems" sold approximately 80,000 copies, a huge amount certainly for a book of poetry! As well, during this time, his speaking engagements called him as far away as the Middle East, and again to the United States.
