Where can i find a poem by Heinrich Heine?

i know it has the lines:
iron helmets will not save
even heroes from the grave.
good men's blood will drain away
while the wicked win the day

and i think it's called "Valkyries"

thanks to anyone who helps

It is indeed called "The Valkyrie"--there's a link to one translation of it below. The problem with Heine, of course, is that there are any number of translations of his work (most not available online, because they're copyrighted)--so the lines you quote do not directly match the one below. You'd do well to visit a bookstore or library for other translations.

ADDENDUM: A tip of the hat to Max for getting through "Atta Troll"!

In the past years go-karting was found only in local amusement centers where the rate of accidents were quite few and rare. People used to race in comparatively low speeds for fun. But with time the speed of go-karting has become quite high and thus it is advisable to follow and maintain some of the basic safety measure while going for karting. If proper safety measures are taken, then nothing can be more exhilarating than go-karting. People engage themselves in many kinds of racing like bikes, scooters, mopeds, but the most exciting among them is go-karting as it can give the satisfaction of having a formula one racing but without any hazards.

Karting initially involved a speed of five miles per hour but currently karts are available at a much faster speed of sixty miles per hour. Thus it can be easily observed that karting was much slower and safer before than today. One does not have to face the danger of collisions while racing at five miles per hour but one faces real danger of it when racing at sixty miles per hour. One must be aware of these perils of racing and prepare accordingly. But sometimes over confidence becomes an unwanted hazard in karting as well. However, taking the proper preventive measures will enable the driver to have a safe and secured but exciting racing.

Karting has got some dangers too, but the basic common sense of a driver can save him from the greatest peril. Nevertheless, the danger or the hazard depends on the kind and quality of kart and accessories one buys for the race. But one has to be prepared for anything and everything bad and dreadful while racing on his kart. Hazards like fractured bones, head wounds, catching fire and many more are some of the common things, which may happen to any racer. Thus proper safety measures are a must for every racer while he goes on for the racing.

It is important that one chooses the perfect level of racing while going for go-karting. Lessons on karting are available for everyone irrespective of being beginners or advanced. Small kids to adults, all may receive karting lessons, which usually starts from the junior level to sheer professional racing. It is not an uphill task to learn karting but achieving the professional level may take a good lot of practice. Racing with the racers of with the same skill level will definitely ensure safety. And after one reaches a superior level of racing he may race with people in that level. If the proper level of racing is not chosen it may result in a fatal accident. Practicing and achieving one level after another will improve and enhance the skill and potential of the driver.

Often one wonders if it is at all safe and okay to kart with such soaring racing speed. If a person always keeps their safety in mind then he will be safe racing on the tracks as well, and lessen the hazards that may claim his life instead. But if anyone is not bothered about his safety measures then anything is possible in any kind of sport.

Generally karting involves a speed of sixty miles per hour. But while you are racing on an, 'enduro kart' then you may even achieve a speed of ninety miles per hour while racing. And more than that is the shifter kart, which guarantees one hundred and sixty miles per hour. If a kart gets overturned or hit by other vehicles it may cause serious problem. Thus ensuring safety in the first place is the right thing to do.

It has already been mentioned and told that racing with people of the same level ensures safety for the driver. Negligence is the main cause behind mishaps. You may take safety precautions but it still might not be enough if you compete with racers of a higher level. Thus you should always race in a level you are comfortable with.

One must purchase a very good helmet while racing at any level. Since, in most cases the head gets injured first and it might lead to a serious condition. Wearing a proper racing suit is also very important. At times the fuel tank gets caught in flames. Thus flame fighting suits and shoes must be worn while racing. You must keep in mind that if your car is hit from the front, your toes and feet will get wounded.

While buying a kart one must purchase the best one to ensure their own safety. Nowadays, almost all karts have an enclosure that enables safety during an overturn. The sidebars of these karts are tough enough to protect the driver from getting wounded. One must worry about his safety rather than money while buying a kart. A quality vehicle is always worth its price.

The major safety measures of go-karting are provided in this article. If these safety measures are kept in mind, one can enjoy racing the tracks without harming themselves or others. And lastly, with enough practice you may even race with Tony Stewart someday.
