Absinthe makes you sit and ponder
Absinthe makes your mind go wander
Absinthe costs lots of dough
But absinthe makes the poetry flow
Of the Green Fairy, the poet sings
She takes his words and gives them wings
But when she gets him really drunk
She takes his words and makes them junk
Incoherent junk, I fear
But loved by hipsters far and near
Absinthe gave Ginsberg a poets career
Frankly, he should've just stuck to beer.

A revision-
Of the Green Fairy, the poet sings
She takes his words and gives them wings
Be when she gets him good and drunk
She takes his verse and makes it junk
Incoherent verse, I fear
But beloved by hipsters far and near

As per the title, it’s an anapaestic tetrameter. The anapaest is a metrical foot used in poetry; two short or unstressed syllables followed by one long or stressed syllable. An anapaestic tetrameter is a line containing four such feet.
In "Das Bedürfnis des Dichters ist reinlichster Reim" the underlined syllables are the stressed ones (it probably works best when spoken out loud, as classical poetry is meant to be). There's no deeper meaning other than an example of what the character is named after.
Übrigens: Das metrische Gegenteil des Anapäst ist der Daktylus - the Dactyl
