Notre-Dame stands

It needs fixing

There should be two funds

Feed people with the first collection

Establish banks, fields to raise

Crops for the hungry

Not the shop-hungry

But the hungry-now

That would be Gothic-good, I think

Pointing a people toward the sky

Making sure they have

The strength to stand

Cathedrals built to music over time

So relate certain Victorians

Now music while the cathedral’s coming down

Illumination

Challenging the fire

 

A story goes that Camelot arose

To Merlin’s music

There’s Aslan singing so that

Narnia can come to life

And did not the utterance of Christ

Make all worlds

 

They watch and listen to

The fire

There is heat to feel

Ash to smell

And the taste of ruination

 

There is more as music

Cups the feeling of the tears

And gives, unbidden, thought to soul

Vive la France

Vive l’homme
