Upon thy brow, O dear and dauntless Maid,
There rests, at last, the Coronal of Glory.
Thy Mother's Sacred Seal, so long delayed.
Has closed the volume of thy wondrous story.
Today, the children offer at thy feet
A simple flower - love-planted and love-given,
O Thou, Than Whom Was Never Child More Sweet,
Saint Joan of Arc - remember us in Heaven!
