Poem on the first crusade

"It was a glittering night of turquoise and jade
it was the night of the First Crusade.
Who rides so late through wind and night ?
it is that noble, valorous knight

his saintly figure, all tattered and torn
envelops Godefroy de Bouillon
the precious leader, the saintly knight
riding undaunted through the night

"Oh, cease that kufr instantly"
shouted the Muslims, spoiling for fight,
critical of the Frankish knight
who would behave so cruelly.

"O holy city, Jerusalem"
quipped Godefroy - I will show them
of what is capable a Frankish knight
tattered and torn, in the sparkling night"

And so it all ended- the first Crusade
a massive massacre, in the night of jade
and God almighty, from his holy Throne
laughed at the knight, all tattered and torn."
