1. The girl of greatest beauty, with flowing golden hair, prefers the steeple’s shadow to parties in the square. Her heart is for the homeless, the poorest everywhere. The girl of greatest beauty is fondly known as Clare. 2. One day when she was praying, a friar came to preach. He said his name was Francis, and then began to teach about the holy Gospel and love beyond all price and Clare at once was smitten with God and sacrifice. 3. Her gaze entrances people; her smile lights up my life. You’d think she was a princess, and sure to be a wife. But Clare’s in love with Jesus and only wants to pray. I hope to see her beauty in paradise one day. 4. She loved me as her brother; a cape for me she sewed. She imitated Francis in kindnesses she showed. The girl of greatest beauty cut off her golden hair to show her love for Jesus; my favorite sister, Clare.
