| Abstract | Christian Diers left Germany on September 20, 1872 and settled in La Grange, Fayette County, Texas. The author was provided with a book of poems written by Christian Diers; his poems had found their way to Germany from Texas, and wre bound in a book by Warner Harms. "There are forty poems in the book dealing with [Christian's] decision to leave Germany, the journey to Texas, his marriage to Meta Renken, their life on the farm, and some of his philosophical thoughts. They serve as another view of the life of German immigrants in Fayette County during the nineteenth century." Two poems are presented here, one in German and English, the other in English only. |
