Summary

[edit]
Description
Afrikaans: Voetstuk van die kruismonument op Saartjiesnek vir Genl. Hendrik Schoeman (1840–1901)
English: Base of the cross monument on Saartjies Neck that commemorates Gen. Hendrik Schoeman (1840–1901)
Hierdie simbool van tragedie
en triomf van oorwinning in neerlaag
is opgerig vir
GENL HENDRIK SCHOEMAN
deur 'n groepie bewonderaars

Wreed is die lot van die siener en die vredemaker
Sy eensame weg voer steeds deur Getsemanie na Golgota
Dink aan Hess, aan Pétain, aan die Gekruisigde
Maar tragieser is die lot van die wat sy raad
met veragting verwerp
Opgerig 1955

This symbol of tragedy
and triumph of victory in defeat
was erected for
GENL HENDRIK SCHOEMAN
by a group of admirers

Cruel is the destiny of the seer and the peacemaker
His lonely road continues through Getsémané to Calvary
Think of Hess, of Pétain, of the Crucified
But more tragic the fate of those who
reject his advice with contempt
Erected 1955
