VI. UNION AND LIBERTY.-GRIMKE. 1. Who would sever Freedom's shrine'? Dear to me the South's fair land', 2. By our altars pure and free', We will still be one'! 3. Fathers, have ye bled in vain'? No! Receive our solemn vow, VII. THE GERMAN'S FATHERLAND.-ARNDT. 1. Where is the German's fatherland'? Is't Prussia'? Swabia'? Is't the strand Where grows the vine, where flows the Rhine'? Is't where the gull skims Baltic's brine'? Must be the German's fatherland! 2. The poet, after naming, in like manner, through five successive verses, all the great divisions of the old Germanic Confederation, celebrating the praises of each, and receiving, for all, the same reply-"No: these are not the German's land," thus proceeds, in the following three verses, in the true love of country and of home, to answer the question, and invoke the blessings of Heaven upon his fatherland. 3. Where, therefore, lies the German's land`? 4. That is his land', the land of lands', 5. That is the German's fatherland! Great God! look down and bless that land! And give her noble children souls To cherish, while existence rolls, And love with heart, and aid with hand, FINIS Edinburgh Review, 134. Emmet, Robert, 293-4.
