The One And The Many - ZaunköniG - 18.04.2012 The One And The Many Not with our foemen's bond of fear and force Our lives are one, nor by the dull decree That lops each golden shoot of liberty And checks the soul exulting in her course, But we are one because at life's full source Our lips have drunk, and all our ways are free, And the high troth our spirit plights to Thee Is glad and strong and knoweth not remorse. Many our laws, therefore our Law is one, Our tongues are legion, hence the Voice we hear Hath no strait idiom, void of living soul, But cries as joy 'neath every clime and sun Offering for fetters, love that casts out fear, For hatred, strength and peace from pole to pole. |
