Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEAFAGHGHCDCD EAFA| THE world's heart is kindless and grey and unholy | A |
| As the head of the wandering Jew | B |
| And can never be won from the cause of its folly | A |
| Till man to Humanity s true | B |
| There s a path to redemption but that we shall miss | C |
| While we seek in the old warring manner | D |
| Till we re ready to fight a new battle for this | C |
| The motto inscribed on our banner | D |
| To principles let us by loyal alway | E |
| And true to all good in man s story | A |
| Not to that mockery royal display | F |
| Nor that Juggernaut national glory | A |
| And though ever someone to be doughty and noted | G |
| Like Nimrod should aim at a throne | H |
| It were easy to leave him a wight unpromoted | G |
| To brood o er his project alone | H |
| Or to meet him at once with a withering hiss | C |
| For we love not ambition s old manner | D |
| We are fired for a new race of glory with this | C |
| The motto inscribed on our banner | D |
| To principles let us by loyal alway | E |
| And true to all good in man s story | A |
| Not to that mockery royal display | F |
| Nor that Juggernaut national glory | A |
