My Homeland (From the German of A. De Nora)
Published in the Agnostic Journal London, England 6 May 1905 (page 279)
"Himmel und Erde feiern Dich, Du Land der Bayern! O wie bist Du Schön!"
Over thy glistening snows The heavens are gold and blue; Over thy lakes there glows The fleecy clouds' light hue: Heaven and earth give greeting, In thee, Bavaria, meeting; Oh, how fair art thou!
From the heat of the mowing Streams the scent of the hay; Over the corn ripe-growing Heaven and earth give greeting, In thee, Bavaria, meeting; Oh, how fair art thou!
Happy the men thou dost raise, Whom thy green vigour fills; They are keen as thy harvest days,— Strong as thy swelling hills! Heaven and earth give greeting, In thee, Bavaria, meeting; Oh, how fair art thou!
