Abstract This chapter contains a newly crafted English translation and International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription of a poem by Burger Gericke, “The Abundant Heathlands.” Each stanza follows an ABAB rhyming scheme. Set to music by pioneering and prolific Afrikaans art song composer S. le Roux Marais, whose style favored that of the German Romantic Lied, this song is scored for medium voice. It is the twenty-fifth song in the first anthology published by the National Council for Folk Song and Folk Dancing, called “Golden Sheaf.” Illuminating footnotes are provided to enhance the reader’s comprehension of the unique biodiversity of the Southern African landscape and multicultural distinctiveness of its people. Topics include love of nature and patriotism.
