It Will Rise Again
Parisians looked upon it with sadness and awe.
There was plenty of disbelief with what they saw.
Notre Dame de Paris in the heart of the city
was going up in flames! What a pity!
The great church was filled with priceless artifacts galore.
Many of them were destroyed, and will be nevermore.
This eight-century-old edifice played a major role in history.
Coronations and royal weddings held there were many.
With much grief are the hearts of French citizens filled.
However, they say they will get together and rebuild.
From the spot where ashes and charred rubble lies,
a new Notre Dame cathedral shall soon rise.
