RHINE SONG

OF THE GERMAN SOLDIERS AFTER VICTORY.



TO THE AIR OF—"AM RHEIN, AM RHEIN."



SINGLE VOICE.
It is the Rhine! our mountain vineyards laving,
    I see the bright flood shine, I see the bright flood shine!
Sing on the march, with every banner waving—
    Sing, brothers, 'tis the Rhine! Sing, brothers, ’tis the Rhine!

CHORUS.
The Rhine! the Rhine! our own imperial River!
    Be glory on thy track, be glory on thy track!
We left thy shores, to die or to deliver;—
    We bear thee Freedom back, we bear thee Freedom back!
