Classic Poem

Brother, sing your country's anthem,
—Shout your land's undying fame;
Light the wondrous tale of nations
—With your people's golden name.
Tell your fathers' noble story,
—Raise on high your country's sign,
Join, then, in the final glory—
—Brother, lift your flag with mine!

Hail the sun of peace new rising,
—Hold the war clouds closer furled.
Blend our banners, O my brother,
—In the rainbow of the world!
Red as blood, and blue as heaven,
—Wise as age and proud as youth,
Melt our colors, wonder-woven,
—In the great white light of truth!

Build the road of peace before us,
—Build it wide and deep and long:
Speed the slow and check the eager,
—Help the weak and curb the strong.
None shall push aside another,
—None shall let another fall:
March beside me, O my brother,
—All for one and one for all!
