This shall it be,
This German is the home for thee.
God! this for Fatherland we own,
Look down on us from heaven's high throne,
And give us ancient German spirit,
Its truth and valour to inherit.
This shall it be,
The whole united Germany.
H.
Of the author of this song some account was given in a preceding number
of the _Mirror_. It was written on the same occasion as the _Patriot's
Call_, when Napoleon invaded Germany, and was intended to
tranquillize all petty feelings of jealousy between the separate German
states. The translator believes that Messrs. Treuttel and Wuertz
published this song in an English dress some few years since; he has,
however, never seen a copy of that work.
[1] We suspect this to be the burthen of a beautiful Quintett which
we heard sung _thrice_ the other evening at Covent Garden
Theatre, in Mr. Planche's pleasing "Romance of a Day."--ED.
[2] Emperor of Austria.
