The verse admonishes Germany to "bloom," not to be "above all," the old mission that frightens some Europeans.
The rush toward unification
Only a year ago, the rush toward unity was barely starting. East Germans demonstrated for political freedoms and the right to leave their country. The Communist government opened the Berlin Wall last fall but was swept away anyway in a peaceful popular revolution.
East Germans began to demonstrate for unification, which was taken up by Kohl and his government and eventually approved by Moscow and the Allies.
The Soviets agreed to let united Germany remain in NATO and to remove their troops by the end of 1944, although Germany is paying Moscow $9.5 billion to finance the withdrawal. The Allies will keep troops in West Berlin until the Soviets leave.
The last formal steps to clear the way for unity were taken mostly by the foreign powers that defeated Nazi Germany in World War II, legal powers as occupiers in Berlin.

Berlin's bells ring in liberty
The Associated Press
BERLIN — Among the thousands of bells ringing in the new united Germany is one with a fitting inscription.
A 23,000-pound Liberty Bell, given to Berlin by millions of Americans, bears the inscription "That this bury the inscription shall have a new birth of freedom."
The bell hangs in the tower of Berlin's Schoenbeck city hall, about three miles from the former site of the Berlin Stock Exchange, and are sent to Berlin on Oct. 24, 1950.
