RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
The Cathedral
She rises from the ashes
All our hearts must overflow
The tears we shed in sorrow
In pure joy we now let go
A monument to human grace
At the core of western civilization
A tribute to artistic achievement
At the heart of the French nation
She stands now for our resilience
The stubborn loyalty of our race
We refuse to yield to memories
The sacred beauty of this place
Notre Dame stands once again
Where she will stand for all time
Beyond the glory of mortal men
Beyond the beauty of all rhyme
She is the ultimate of our being
She is the heartbeat of our song
We hear her dancing and singing
And we must dance and sing along
(Re: Jean-Louis Georgelin 1948 – 2023)
