Who Is A Christian? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSG TUV| Who is a Christian in this Christian land | A |
| Of many churches and of lofty spires | B |
| Not he who sits in soft upholstered pews | C |
| Bought by the profits of unholy greed | D |
| And looks devotion while he thinks of gain | E |
| Not he who sends petitions from the lips | F |
| That lie to morrow in the street and mart | G |
| Not he who fattens on another's toil | H |
| And flings his unearned riches to the poor | I |
| Or aids the heathen with a lessened wage | J |
| And builds cathedrals with an increased rent | K |
| Christ with Thy great sweet simple creed of love | L |
| How must Thou weary of Earth's 'Christian' clans | M |
| Who preach salvation through Thy saving blood | N |
| While planning slaughter of their fellow men | O |
| Who is a Christian It is one whose life | P |
| Is built on love on kindness and on faith | Q |
| Who holds his brother as his other self | R |
| Who toils for justice equity and PEACE | S |
| And hides no aim or purpose in his heart | G |
| That will not chord with universal good | T |
| Though he be pagan heretic or Jew | U |
| That man is Christian and beloved of Christ | V |
