Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG IJ KOur tears our songs our laurels what are these | A |
To thee in thy Gethsemane of loss | B |
Stretched in thine unimagined agonies | A |
On Hell's last engine of the Iron Cross | B |

For such a world as this that thou shouldst die | C |
Is price too vast yet Belgium hadst thou sold | D |

Honour for ever and left only Gold | D |

Nor diest thou for soon shalt thou awake | F |
And lifted high on our victorious shields | G |
Watch the new sunrise driving for your sons | H |
The hated German shadow from your fields | G |
