Patriotism Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CCDEEF| There was a time when it was counted high | A |
| To be a patriot whether by the zeal | B |
| Of peaceful labour for the country's weal | B |
| Or by the courage in her cause to die | A |
| - | |
| FOR KING AND COUNTRY was a rallying cry | A |
| That turned men's hearts to fire their nerves to steel | B |
| Not to unheeding ears did it appeal | B |
| A pulpit formula a platform lie | A |
| - | |
| Only a fool will wantonly desire | C |
| That war should come outpouring blood and fire | C |
| And bringing grief and hunger in her train | D |
| And yet if there be found no other way | E |
| God send us war and with it send the day | E |
| When love of country shall be real again | F |
