Amongst this brave, devoted band,
Thy sons, Germania, proudly stand;
To none inferior in the fight,
In love of freedom and the right:
And while this earth endures, bright fame
Shall gild thy Siegel’s honored name;
And those who for the right have stood,
Or born of thee, or of thy blood,
From him who nameless wields the lance,
To Heintzleman and Rosecrans.
