Song of William HermannsThe Wallenberg Hymn
The Wallenberg Hymn
Go forth, youth, raise your hands and vow: We march no more with flags unfurled. We change the swords to plowshares now, one humanhood, one world. Our foes are who proclaim the law: We stronger have the right to tell who is our equal, who is not. They're the allies of Hell. Youth, shall in Hell your conscience burn? Use it and overturn. The armament, the battlefield, the prison cells, Siberia's graves - the history of the ruling few is that of lords and slaves. Come, youth, give a new heart to man. Make conscience scuttle greed and hate and watch with awe the cosmic law - too long we called it fate. Let's move that better life above to earth through selfless love. The flag of greed has waved too long for misfits of reality. Who works the land shall own the land; man is created free. Youth, rise and stop the human beast. The apocalyptic bell it tolls. Hell closes in. O youth, arise, let conscience feed your souls. Come, youth, think of your sacred vow, the Spirit needs you now. Come, youth, and vibrate holy wrath against the supermen of power, who sell your blood and purchase bombs. Youth, rise, this is your hour. The cries of children who were gassed shall build a temple in each heart. Our humanhood knows no subhumans, of us they are a part. We'll save the earth from cosmic scorn, save children not yet born. William Hermanns [P344] ---- Music Score
Note: Poem is in Passion and Compassion (1948). Music composed by William Hermanns.
