LIED DER DEUTSCHBRASILIANER.
Rein wie hoch am Himmelsbogen
Unsrer Heimat Sterne stehn.
Maechtig, wie die Meereswogen
Gegen unsre Kueste gehn,
Soll der Heimat Sang uns dringen
Aus der treuen Brust hervor,
Soll Brasiliens Preis erklingen
Aus dem deutschen Maennerchor.
Fuelle liegt auf deinen Fluren,
Gottgesegnet Vaterland;
Leuchtend zeigst du noch die Spuren
Von des Schoepfers Meisterhand:
In des Mittags blauen Fernen
Wo die goldne Sonnenpracht,
Mit des Himmels schoensten Sternen
Schmuekt sie funkelnd deine Nacht.
Deine fruchtgetraenkte Erde
Gibt uns Mut zu frischem Tun,
Gibt uns Muesse, um am Herde
Sonder Sorge auszuruhn.
Aus des Bodens Scholle ziehen
Wir des Lebens bestes Mark,
Aus des Bodens Kraft erbluehen
Die Geschlechter frei und stark.
Lasst uns schaffen mit der Staerke
Dessen, der die Heimat liebt,
Lasst uns beten, dass zum Werke
Gott uns das Gedeihen gibt!
Ewig heilig, ewig teuer
Bleibest du dem deutschen Lied,
Heimatland, in dem das Feuer
Unsres Herdes gastlich glueht.
O. Meyer in _Uhle's Kalender_ for 1916.
