| Not upon us the shame | A |
| Whose sires were to the Auld Alliance true | B |
| They by the Maiden's side | C |
| Victorious fought and died | C |
| One stood by thee that fiery torment through | B |
| Till the White Dove from thy pure lips had passed | D |
| And thou wert with thine own St Catherine at the last | D |
| - | |
| Once only didst thou see | E |
| In artist's imagery | E |
| Thine own face painted and that precious thing | F |
| Was in an Archer's hand | G |
| From the leal Northern land | G |
| Alas what price would not thy people bring | F |
| To win that portrait of the ruinous | H |
| Gulf of devouring years that hide the Maid from us | H |
| - | |
| Born of a lowly line | I |
| Noteless as once was thine | I |
| One of that name I would were kin to me | E |
| Who in the Scottish Guard | J |
| Won this for his reward | K |
| To fight for France and memory of thee | E |
| Not upon us dark Lily without blame | A |
| Not on the North may fall the shadow of that shame | A |
| - | |
| On France and England both | L |
| The shame of broken troth | L |
| Of coward hate and treason black must be | E |
| If England slew thee France | M |
| Sent not one word one lance | M |
| One coin to rescue or to ransom thee | E |
| And still thy Church unto the Maid denies | N |
| The halo and the palms the Beatific prize | N |
| - | |
| But yet thy people calls | O |
| Within the rescued walls | O |
| Of Orleans and makes its prayer to thee | E |
| What though the Church have chidden | I |
| These orisons forbidden | I |
| Yet art thou with this earth's immortal Three | E |
| With him in Athens that of hemlock died | C |
| And with thy Master dear whom the world crucified | C |
