ALABAMA EARTH (AT BOOKER T. WASHINGTON’S GRAVE)ALABAMAN MULTA (BOOKER T. WASHINGTONIN * HAUDALLA)
  
Deep in Alabama earthSyvällä Alabaman mullan alla
His buried body lies —hän lepää haudattuna -
But higher than the singing pinesmutta korkeampana kuin humisevat hongat
And taller than the skiesja ylempänä kuin taivaankansi,
And out of Alabama earthja Alabaman mullan alta
To all the world there goesyli maanpiirin kantautuu
The truth a simple heart has heldtotuus yksinkertaisen sydämen
And the strength a strong hand knowsja voima vankkojen käsien,
While over Alabama earthja samaan aikaan Alabaman mullan yllä
These words are gently spoken:lausutaan nämä ylevät sanat:
Serve — and hate will die unborn,Palvele, niin viha on kuoleva kohdussaan,
Love — and chains are broken.Rakasta, niin kahleet ovat katkeava.
