Best Edelweiss Poems

This is a slightly revised repost but which was formerly deleted.)

I climbed the high mountain,
breathed in the harsh high air,
really relished the beauty
of the valley where you lived.
And all because it was a custom

to you whom I loved
in those days gone...

Desired for my concrete, city garden.
Emblem of pure love and deep devotion 
Labeled as "noble white" by old Germans.

With your champions pronounced in deeds,

How many have fallen for you high one?
Your royal stems, petals so noble,
Above us you flourish in wait,
For how...

Won't say anything to the police. 
Let this count as an accident. 
No one needs to know. 
For months we prepared the ascent.
We knew the difficulties and dangers.  
But, you know, it's something that's worth it.
Look at the valley that spreads out below.
