A more literal translation of the title might be something along the lines of "there were also Germans about". The title is a refrain line used to indicate German-American understanding and acceptance of the extent to which German contributions to American cultural life were deliberately understated by the social mainstream. "Did Abound" presumes a readership tone deaf to irony. Martyn Hitchcock’s title for the second most famous of the two Krez poems in English translation looks like a story in itself.

I've posted my translations on my blog at http://pinnacled.blogspot.com for any readers with the time or inclination to have a look. The poems may also be of historical interest to people living in Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. I'm not aware of any other English translations of these poems.
