"Thoughts on the Führer"

Often you must feel alone, all by yourself, 

When you think of the mission you must fulfill. 

Your deeds are far beyond what others do, 

Yet you seek still greater goals. 

We can never reach your heights, 

All we can do is follow down your way, 

And our banner with its symbol of the sun 

Is under your leadership, under your guidance. 

Each word that you have given us, 

Each look that you have sent our way, 

Has cleansed us, led us 

Given new light to our lives' paths. 

And should some day you be no longer with us 

Your spirit will yet endure — 

It will carry our children 

Into a new age! 

Your pure strength rests not alone 

In your living word, 

But now that we have found their source 

They are the German people's treasure. 

Those words it was that first awakened us, 

From dull brooding, hollow death — 

We can no longer perish, 

A light burns for us in the night!
