Germany never died,
though all of her youth perished twice
against her fate and history.
Their cells and forms survived,
and their beauty and their eyes
in the sisters and lovers they left behind.
And it’s from the ashes again, that they’ve formed,
and from those whose tears fell like rain
on the soil where they laid themselves down.
From these now rise her sons, again,
as the grass grows in springtime
into the sunlight of this world;
shining and strong and beautiful.
