The Red Cross Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| St George I learned to love thee in my youth | A |
| When of thy deeds I read in deathless song | B |
| And now when I behold the dragon Wrong | B |
| Hard by the castle gates of Love and Truth | A |
| I feel the world's great need of thee forsooth | A |
| To strike the heavy blow delayed too long | B |
| Then turning from the medi val throng | B |
| Where thou wert bravest yet the first in ruth | A |
| I watch thy votaries by land and sea | C |
| Armed with thy sacred sign go forth to fight | D |
| Anew the battle of humanity | C |
| Beneath the flag of mercy and of right | D |
| No holier band a holier realm e'er trod | E |
| Than this the world's knight errantry of God | E |
