The iron cross IS black as death and
hard IS human hate.
The wooden cross is white and still
and whispers us. Too Late,
But the Red Cross sings Of life and
love and hearts resenerate-
The iron cross is a boastful cross and
marks the war-mad slave;
The wooden cross is a dumb, dead
cross and marks a shallow grave,
But the Red Cross reaches out It's
arms TO solace and to save.
The iron cross is a kaiser's cross and
narrow is its clan;
The wooden cross is a soldiers cross
and mourns its partisan,
But the Red Cross is the Cross Of One
who served mis- fellowman.
