Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc)
August 27, 2012
Who were you?
A maid, yes, who led the army of a king
Who gained the victory
Banner of the golden lily
Strong in your hand.
But who were you?
A child who heard voices
And obeyed the heavenly vision
'Till heedless vanity of fortune
Brought you to the flames.
Who are you?
A hero, yes, in many minds
Who see your daring deeds
With eyes that look but perceive not
The truth that is.
Who were you?
