• In memory of may 1st 1945

Great Eagle, fold your wings awhile
And turn away your eyes
In smoke and thunder, flame and blood
Your best and highest dies
And all his happy Land,
His great emprise
A shattered wreck
Of ugly ruin lies

Great Eagle, flee a little while
To some far lonely height
There shall you watch and wait
Your land is sunk in night
All, all those cities bright
In ruins far and wide
Torment the night

Oh Eagle, did you hear that shout?
That thundered triple roar?
Its clamourous echoes smote the earth
And rolled from shore to shore
And all the glorius dead,
Who fealty swore
Recieved him home,
His earthly flight is over

His flight, that made the nations shake,
And hearts and pulses leap
Is over... now he rests
But we are sunk in anguish deep
He rests as last,
No dreams torture his sleep
While grave-eyed angel-guards
Their watches keep

Great Eagle, that he worked to save,
And fought to guard, and died
Flee from this piteous german wreck,
In some far corner hide
Until the land is free
And far and wide
Throughout the entire world
His name is glorified!

Meanwhile, we hold the heights he won
And keep his torch aflame
No slothful ease for us
Who bear the honour of his name
To do his work
We count higher than fame
Indifferent to earthly
Praise or blame
