by George Morin (1831 - 1918)

Wer wird nun Deine Freiheit schützen?
 (Sung text for setting by J. Lang)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Du bist jetzt nicht nur meerumschlungen,
   Mein Schleswig-Holstein, stammverwandt,
Weit stärker vom Verrath umrungen
   Bist Du, o deutsches Bruderland!

Es sterben nicht für Deine Rechte,
   Die Deutschen dort im Kampfgewirr,
O nein, sie fielen nur als Knechte
   Für einen fetzen Löschpapier. --
