Gothic

Hail to the Middle Ages

When cathedrals flourished

In a barbarous German style

Attributed to the Goths

Who were overrun by the Huns

Which became the Visigoths

Who overran Rome

They destroyed ancient Roman edifices

And erected their own monstrosities

The style is best known

In the Notre Dame de Paris

Which recently burned

But this style has persisted

For centuries in many countries

Where it has become flamboyant

A Gothic Church!
