Poems and Rhymed Prayers - Eberhard Arnold, 78 Pages
December 1935 was cold and wet and depressing at the Rhön Bruderhof. The brotherhood was still reeling from the recent loss of Eberhard Arnold, their “Word Leader.” Debts were mounting, and food and fuel were in short supply. Internal struggles had weakened the resolve of many, and outwardly, too, the circle limped along, most of the able-bodied men having fled the country to avoid conscription into Hitler’s army. Nazis and nosy neighbors spied constantly on the community, and there was a lingering sense of dread in the air. But all was not gloom and doom. In a letter she wrote to a friend in England the same month, Edna Percival, a guest at the Rhön, spoke with optimism of how the Bruderhof would not give up:The wonderful thing is that for us Eberhard can never die. In all his poems and songs, which we use almost daily, the essence of everything he lived is expressed, and stands for all time. This book contains a comprehensive sampling of those poems, many of them in English for the first time. Writing about the earliest ones, Eberhard’s eldest son, Hardy, explained: They stem from the time when, as a student, my father was involved in the Salvation Army [1903–1904] and the German Christian Student Union [1905–1906] mainly in Halle, Breslau, and Erlangen. They are about repentance and conversion, and a burning love for Jesus. They speak of discipleship and struggle, the outpouring of the Spirit, and the coming into being of a true Gemeinde – not a church or sect, but a consecrated body. They also voice jubilant praise and thanks to God. They are imbued with a fiery spirit. So are the “engagement poems” of 1907–1909, which follow. The outpourings of a young man so passionately in love that he begged his fiancée to write to him “at least once a day,” they are emotionally charged. But they are not conventional love poems. Almost all end by pointing their recipient (and by extension, every reader) toward Christ.
