Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Joan of Arc
Work rating: Low

This word had Merlin said from of old:—
That out of the Oak Tree Shade 
In the day of France`s direst dule, 
God`s hand should send a Maid.
And where Domremy, by Burgundy, 
Sits crowned with its oakenshaw, 
Even there Joan d`Arc, the Maid of God`s Ark, 
The light of the day first saw.

Where spirits go, what man may know? 
Yet this may of man be said:—
That, when Time is o`er and all hath sufficed, 
Shall the world`s chief Christ-fire rise to Christ 
From the ashes of Joan the Maid.
