The banks of the Petra 

~Circa, 1880~

 

Oh, Petra! Let your maternal waters flowth o’er banks and across the land

And Petra, deep and wide water; land of my forefathers

I shall not betray you, I shall stand and I am at your command

And I shall be buried on your banks 

 

Petra, flowing water!

Bring wealth, health, and liberty

To every true son and daughter

 

Let your waters run free, ne’er ice-o’er, or run dry

Like the bounty of your fields and fens

From valley low to hillside high

Let your freedom ring!

 

Petra, flowing water!

Bring wealth, health, and liberty

To every true son and daughter

 

Those few, true who kneel to drink from her banks

Let their wits be e’er sharp, and swords sharper

To stand as a fellow in her proud ranks

Is the greatest honour of all

 

Petra, flowing water!

Bring wealth, health, and liberty

To every true son and daughter

 

When I die, I wish to be buried in her green hills

And if I ride home no more

I will ask that honour she fulfills 

And I shall ask no more from her

 

Petra, flowing water!

Bring wealth, health, and liberty

To every true son and daughter

 

Bring wealth, health, and liberty

To every true son and daughter!


 

Penned, 

 

The Honourable, Lord Arnaud Halcourt, 

Baron d’Artois, Patriarche d'Halcourt

Paul Temesch et Moere shows it to all of his best friends. "Karaoke night this weekend?" he smirks.

 

Little did they know, he was a terrible singer.

A certain Batavian man feared for his life at the mere idea of his dearest companian Paul Temesch singing to him.
