A FILIPINO
A Filipino!
I am proud to be a Filipino:
Proud of the Past .
Proud of my Ancestors,
Bold Malays,
Brown as burnt grass,
Stripped to the Waist,
Little muscles rippling under skin smooth as satin,
While swift barangays
Drive through sunny seas.
Proud I am!
Proud of My centuries
Of Peaceful village life,
Of folk-ways slowly ripening,
Of laws ad customs gradually growing,
Tested and revised by long experience.
Under the aegis of our tribal Gods.
Proud I am.
Proud of our Patience under Spanish yoke;
Proud that from our conquerors we took
Much of the good,
Little of the Bad,
And all the while remained ourselves.
Prouder still
That, covered all the years,
The five was yet unquenched,
And blazed hotly
In fierce revolt against oppression.
I am proud of that revolt-
The heroes it made,
The tradition, it left to me,
A Filipino!
A Filipino!
A Filipino, rejoicing in the Past.
But o! the greater joy when my eager eyes
Gaze to the Dawn-
A dawn fast brightening into morning-
The dawn of a day.
More glorious than any that has been before,
A day of which I myself
Shall bear the burden and the heat,
That through the labors of my hand and brain
My son’s son be proud to call himself
A Filipino!

TO THE FLOWERS OF HEIDELBERG
“TO THE FLOWERS OF HEIDELBERG”
Dr. Jose Rizal (Philippine National Hero) wrote a fine Poem dedicated
to the blooming flowers of Heidelberg, Germany
April 22,1886
Go to my native land, go, foreign flowers,
Sown by the traveler on his way,
And there, beneath its azure sky,
Where all my affections lie;
There from the weary pilgrim say,
What faith is his in that land of ours!
Go there and tell how when the dawn,
Her early light diffusing,
Your petals first flung open wide;
His steps beside chill Neckar drawn,
You see him silent by your side,
Upon its Spring perennial musing,
Say how when morning’s light,
All your fragrance stealing,
Whispers to you as in mirth,
Playful songs of Love’s delight,
He, too, murmurs his love’s feeling
In the tonque he learned at birth.
That when the sun on Koenigstuhl’s height
Pours out its golden flood,
And with it’s slowly warming light
Gives life to value and grove and wood,
He greets that sun, here only upraising,
Which in his native land is at its zenith blazing.
And tell there of that day he stood,
Near to a ruin’d castle gray,
By Neckar’s banks, or shady wood,
And pluck’d you from beside the way
Tell, too, the tale toyou addressed,
And how with tender care,
Your bending leaves he press’d
“ Twist pages of some volume rare.
Bear then, O flowers, love’s message bear;
My love to all the love’d ones there,
Peace to my country – fruitful land –
Faith whereon its sons may stand,
And virtue for it’s daughter’s care;
All those beloved creatures greet,
That still around home’s altar meet.
And when you come unto its shore,
This kiss I now on you bestow,
Fling where the winged breezes blow;
That borne on them it may hover o’er
And that I love, esteem, and adore.
But though, O flowers, you come unto that land,
And still perchance your colors hold;
So far from this heroic strand,
Whose soil first bade your life unfold
Still here your fragrance will expand;
Your soul that never quits the earth
Whose light smiled on you at your birth.

TO THE FILIPINO YOUTH
“To the Filipino Youth”
“ Sa Aking Mga Kababata”
By DR. JOSE PROTACIO RIZAL
Theme: “Grow, O Timid Flower.”
Hold high the brow serene,
O youth, were now you stand.
Let the bright sheen
Of your grace be seen,
Fair hope of my fatherland!
Come now, thou genius grand,
And bring down inspiration;
With thy mighty hand,
Swifter than the winds volation,
Raise the eager mind to higher station.
Come down with pleasing light
Of art and science to the flight,
O youth, and there untie
The chains that heavy lie,
Your spirit free to blight.
See how in flaming zone
Amid the shadows thrown,
The Spaniard holy hand
A crown’s resplendent band
Proffers to this Indian land.
Thou who know wouldst rise
On wings of rich emprise,
Seek from Olympian Skies
Songs of the sweetest strain,
Softer than ambrosial rain;
Thou whose voice divine
Rival’s Philomel’s refrain,
And with varied line
Through the night benign
Tress mortality from pain;
Thou, who by sharp strife
Wakest thy mind to life;
And the memory bright
Of thy genius’ light
Makest immortal in it’s strength;
And thou in accent clear
Of Phoebus, to Apelles dear;
Or by the brush’s magic art
Takest from nature’s store apart
To fix it own simple canvas’ length;
Go forth, and then the sacred fire
Of thy genius to the laurel may aspire;
To spread around the flame,
And in victory acclaim,
Through wider spheres the human name.
Day, O happy day,
Fair Filipinas, for thy land!
So bless the Power today
That places in thy way
This favor and this fortune Grand.
