Regions five
Received five visitsRegions divided
Regions collapsedKrim did not accept
The Land of Broken Slavs
Regions Five
Alt-Kroatien
The Old. Who were you, Alt-Kroatien?
Old! Old! More ancient, perhaps,
than old Yoham,
oldest of his kind!Old bones grow
and new flesh suffers,
hair shines white and
splendid,
but you are dull
and feeble.Who were you, Alt-Kroatien?
No friend!
Dubrovnik
The Whore. Who were you, Dubrovnik?
Yes, sour city …
When Krim came to Kroatien poor
In times now so far gone
Did he visit
that old hag
Dubrovnik?Who were you, Dubrovnik?
A cold embrace!
Dalmatien
The Wild. Who were you, Dalmatien?
Three false crowns
Two times three false lion tearsOh, yes, you have teeth
Oh, and fierce eyes, too
But you are not royalty
Not splendid
Nor divineWho were you, Dalmatien?
A rabid dog!
Istrien
The Humble. Who were you, Istrien?
Such pride below
false humility!There are no songs of your
accomplishments,
as you achieved nothing
and your children can
not hold a true tone truly.Who were you, Istrien?
Sentimental and stubborn!
Slawonien
The Worst. Who were you, Slawonien?
A poor fisherman
is he who has
poor harvestThe Sea itself rejects you,
Slawonien,
and your diet will forever be
awful offal,
watered ale!Who were you, Slawonien?
A beggarman!
Closing Hymn
Regions five
Were five-fold abandonedRegions in ruin
Regions of eternal rainKrim firmly rejected
The Land of Broken Slavs
