Nothing But Fear (21 page)

‘A Prussian, I. Can you see my colours fly?/Ahead the flag is waving black and white./For freedom did our fathers fight and die,/ That is the message that my colours write./ Never will my heart despair;/One and all we Prussians dare./ In brightest sunlight and in darkest rain/ A Prussian I, and Prussian will remain!'
