Seven regions, one calendar, and a game played over water

The national anthem: The Line Holds

Adopted 19 June 1813. Sung standing, at the close of the Victory Day parade and before every Pfahl final. The words are reproduced as registered.

I.
Where the reed bends low and the black water lies,
Where the fog comes down and the fog never dries,
We drove in the stakes and we planked over the mire,
And we stood in the dark and we answered their fire.

The line holds. The line holds.
Whatever comes east of us, the line holds.

II.
They have sent us their word and we have sent them our sons;
We have counted the fallen and cleaned all the guns.
Let them come if they will; let them wait if they must.
We were here before them and we'll be here as dust.

The line holds. The line holds.
Whatever comes east of us, the line holds.

III.
Seven stars for the Wardens, one road for the word,
One year for the reckoning that need not be heard.
When the last of us stands where the first of us stood,
He will say what we said, and he'll say it for good:

The line holds. The line holds.
Whatever comes east of us, the line holds.
