GOD of my fathers, thou hast seen my life Worn in defence of thee; Thou hast beheld me firm in danger's face, Maintain thy holy cause, Amid embattled hosts Defend thy mystic rites. Now to the unknown world, Unchill'd by fear, I sink; And whilst my chilly limbs grow faint, Whilst Death's dull mists bedim my eye, Hope lifts my soul to thee. * * * * * FINIS. * * * * * _Proposals for publishing by Subscription,_ JOAN of ARC, AN EPIC POEM, By ROBERT SOUTHEY, _Of Balliol College, Oxford_.

The original used 'continuation quotes' on every new line of text. These have been updated to our modern quotation style. Words surrounded by _ are italicized. Reprint information which was originally in the beginning of the book has been moved to the end of this e-text. End of Project Gutenberg's Poems, by Robert Lovell and Robert Southey
