The Gate Of Yesteryear...
THE GATE OF YESTERYEAR...
Your sinking top, now shines in the sunshine.
Her triangular body shows the contours of our own heritage.
Yes, that's true, but not just her body, no, your total presence shows a nod to our own distant past.
You bring a nostalgic memory, while we really live very visibly in the present.
Tholen goes with modern developments understandably and inevitably.
You bring a total change in our skyline and vote with it many, but unfortunately not everyone has to...
But you know,
You are an imitation of the gate of yesteryear.
You reflect the shipowners of the past and so much more.
Yeah, you let us know that once there was a gunpowder storage tower in Tholen.
She was an important part of the defense line and without her presence our beautiful city might have gone into a completely different future.
I always like to mention nostalgia
And that's why I want to praise you for a moment, despite the struggle of 'few' local residents.
