Wild Europe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAACDEED EDDDFGGFGFFG| WILD Europe red with Woden's dreadful dew | A |
| On fire with Loki's hate more savage than | B |
| Beasts that we shame by likening to man | B |
| Was it toward this the toiling centuries grew | A |
| Was it for this the Reign of Love began | B |
| In that young heretic that gracious Jew | A |
| Whose race His followers flout the ages through | A |
| Is Time at last a mere comedian | C |
| Mocking in cap and bells our pompous boast | D |
| Of progress Nay we will not bear it so | E |
| A million hands launch ships to succor woe | E |
| The stars that shudder o'er the slaughtering host | D |
| - | |
| Rain blessing on the Red Cross groups that go | E |
| Careless of shrapnel emulous for the post | D |
| Where foul diseases wreak their uttermost | D |
| Of horror Saintship walks incognito | D |
| As scoffing Science but Christ knows His own | F |
| Sway as it may the wargod's fell caprice | G |
| The victories of Love shall still increase | G |
| Until at last from all this wail and moan | F |
| Rises the song of brotherhood to cease | G |
| No more no more the song that shall atone | F |
| Even for this mad agony The throne | F |
| That war is building is the throne of Peace | G |
