German Council
one thing, my child, Be faithful and true, never let
entweih'n lies your mouth !
Since ancient times the German people was
the highest glory to be faithful and true.
You are a German child, so think of it!
you are still young, still it is not so difficult;
from a boy but a man, turns
the tree itself, but the tree is not more.
Say yes and no and turning and not Deutler;
what you report say, short and simple;
what you promised, you had the highest duty;
your word is sacred, that's why it's not a waste!
light creeps are approaching the lie to my heart,
first a dwarf, a giant hintenach;
but your conscience shows the enemy to you,
and a voice calls in you, "Be alert!"
Then awake and fighting, it is an enemy willing:
the Lie 'in you, they'll danger threatens!
child, German fought bravely all the time! You
German child, be brave, loyal and true!
About lifting is doing it does not! With this poem, we do not play the moral high ground. And the lies of politicians are not always scale. But in the poem is - as can be seen - also contain much else.
