The Knights Of St. John Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCABDDEE| Oh nobly shone the fearful cross upon your mail afar | A |
| When Rhodes and Acre hailed your might O lions of the war | B |
| When leading many a pilgrim horde through wastes of Syrian gloom | C |
| Or standing with the cherub's sword before the holy tomb | C |
| Yet on your forms the apron seemed a nobler armor far | A |
| When by the sick man's bed ye stood O lions of the war | B |
| When ye the high born bowed your pride to tend the lowly weakness | D |
| The duty though it brought no fame fulfilled by Christian meekness | D |
| Religion of the cross thou blend'st as in a single flower | E |
| The twofold branches of the palm humility and power | E |
Friedrich Schiller
