Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDCEE FGFHF IJIJI EKEKE LELEG| How strange if it should fall to you | A |
| To me our boys should do the deed | B |
| The great Crusaders failed to do | A |
| To win Christ's Sepulchre to bleed | B |
| So the immortal dream come true | A |
| - | |
| What ghosts now throng the Holy Ground | C |
| With rusted armour dinted sword | D |
| Listening The earth shakes with the sound | C |
| The wind brings hither a fierce word | E |
| To arms to arms Sons of Mahound | E |
| - | |
| In many a quiet cloister grey | F |
| Cross legged Crusaders men of stone | G |
| Quiver and stir the Eastward way | F |
| As they would spring up and be gone | H |
| To the Great Day to the Great Day | F |
| - | |
| Godfrey and Lion Heart and all | I |
| The splendours of the faithful years | J |
| Watch our young sons from the Knights' stall | I |
| Ready to clap hands to their spears | J |
| If ill befall if ill befall | I |
| - | |
| They say It is the Child's Crusade | E |
| Was talked of in our early Spring | K |
| St George St Denis to their aid | E |
| That was a boy's voice challenging | K |
| Shrill like a bugle unafraid | E |
| - | |
| Most wonderful if your son my son | L |
| Should win the Holy Thing at last | E |
| The might of Heathenesse be undone | L |
| The strong towers down the gate unfast | E |
| Lord Christ come to His own His own | G |
