The Red Knight

My tribute to the Red Baron

THE RED KNIGHT

The ace who knew no disgrace 

he had no fear of the Lewis gunners 

for soon he would make them all runners!

flying into the enemy fire 

still they could not take down the fighter!

men around him constantly fell

still he flew into Hell!

sights that made soldiers cry

never did the baron die!

what most call defeat in death

true soldiers call a hero at rest !
