Per bend azure and argent, an eagle striking Or and a cedar of Lebanon proper

“A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, rich in plumage of many colors, came to Lebanon and took the top of the cedar”  (Ezekiel 17:3)

The Eagle rends and dark hawk falls to ground;
Sharp talons rip once-Aten iron butterfly.
Silent rest the dead beneath green mounds
Under tall cedars do bravely fallen lie.

Out of Thuringia strides a crownéd knight
Argent and azure upon his warlike shield.
Brother knights in contest try their might
A clash of giants but to Dietrich falls the field.

Pyrrhus of Ithica as was Achilles son
Gilgamesh fells the forest, the gods flee
Fades the bloom, the Eagle is undone.
(Soon will slayer fall in Pyrrhic victory.)

Great heart lieth still. Gentle the dragon
Comes, his lady to bear the hero home.
