Jeanne dArc

The land was broken in despair,     The princes quarrelled in the dark,

When clear and tranquil, through the troubled

Of selfish minds and wills that did not dare,          Your star arose,

Jeanne d'Arc.

O virgin breast with lilies white,     O sun-burned hand that bore the lance,

You taught the prayer that helps men to unite,

You brought the courage equal to the fight,          You gave a heart to France!

Your king was crowned, your country free,    At Rheims you had your soul's desire:

And then, at Rouen, maid of Domremy,

The black-robed judges gave your victory          The martyr's crown of fire.

And now again the times are ill,     And doubtful leaders miss the mark;

The people lack the single faith and

To make them one, — your country needs you still, —          Come back again,

Jeanne d'Arc!

O woman-star, arise once more     And shine to bid your land advance:

The old heroic trust in God restore,

Renew the brave, unselfish hopes of yore,     And give a heart to France!
