Summary

Felipe Arrese Beitia´s poem "Ama euskeraren azken agurrak" (The Farewell of Mother Basque language) is a key work in the building of the national identity of Basque people at the end of the 19th century. In this paper the ama euskara (Mother Basque language) in Arrese´s poem is examined as the representation of the Volksgeist or folk spirit of Basque people.
