Rest in peace, you Franz of Joseph .
Of the Habsburg Austrian branch.
Benefactor Judeorum Bukowina et Galizia.
He slept on a wooden no mattresses bed.
Because he suffered of lumbago pain .
His wife was slain his only son shot himself.
His appointed heir Ferdinand was shot.
He died in 1916 while Austria was still victorious.
But the future was evident : Defeat and collapse.
But he has many fans who remember and respect him.
My mother hearing the Franzjoseph name ,her eyes went mellow.
Here is the Imperial anthem "Gott erhalte ".
