Maid of Orleans

There stood Joan, “The Maid of Orleans”- Brave, full of wit, modesty and simplicity! Being tried by the rascals of the Church of England for heresy And lay in their hands her night or day; Oh, the young warrior toiling for dear life! So young, yet deeds of height for the Kingdom of France, for her motherland; The voices of the angels moved her to the field where she killed, Took up the sacred sword and swore by God, for God, for France; Oh, young lass, now betrayed by the King! And here on that fateful day, Sacrificed in the flames and Done to death a martyr, A young warrior, a daughter, a lovely soul—Joan of Arc!
