The Maid of Orléans
written by: Kenneth Vincent Walker
“The Maid of Orléans”
Jehanne la Pucelle;
Visions and voices
Of Heaven or Hell?
An unlikely choice to
Lead the military of
France was this girl
Dressed as a man.
Of valor and bravery
She was up for the
Task; to liberate her
Land from the English.
For heresy ultimately
Burned at the stake.
Tho’ called by many
Names from Jehanne
Darc to Jehanne d’Arc;
Universally known as
“The Defender of France”
And canonized patron
Saint Joan of Arc.
