Edelweiss

Edelweiss, a mountain child,
 High up in the alpine wild;
Learned to yodel in his youth
 Serenades climbers -hikers, too!

Edelweiss

Exquisite, Alpine daisy-like flowers
Desired for my concrete, city garden.
Emblem of pure love and deep devotion 
Labeled as "noble white" by old Germans.
When my star-shaped petals began to droop,
Environmental pollution at fault;
I was told they are hardy, however
Success would be greater if I moved to
Switzerland - and a garden in the Alps.

Edelweiss

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. 
The clouds like balls of yarn advancing in the sky.
The stars

Love of Edelweiss

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 present a perfumed edelweiss
to you whom I loved
in those days gone by.
 
But you would have none of it,
rejected me out

You'Re My Edelweiss

I gotta let sorrow roll down my weary shoulders
Breaking down a billion boulders, revealing life’s folders
I hear the wolves howl at the after-midnight moon
I can hear them now – the predators scowl so soon

I’m walking on thin ice…
My mind is a cage, 
Filled with crazy mice,
But, now I’m on another page
I don’t feel that inner

Edelweiss and Reindeer

The edelweiss that grows on the mountainside,
A papal white and star like in appearance,
The beautiful mountain flower of Austria,
The reindeer, like god's sculpture come to life,
The handsome singer feeds them and a love
 and care for reindeer guests,
He wears his handsome ski sweater and slacks,
A dimension I am learning to comprehend,
1 like the learning experience

Edelweiss Waltz

Like a symphony with harmony,
He caressed the lady,
Their love affair
Mentored greatness
He was a true gentleman,
She was enchanted by his charm,
His kind ways and the gentle days together,
The endearing mountains,
A lunch with God,
The edelweiss blooming everywhere,
The greenest of grasses with wildflowers,
The beautiful chalet where they retreated,
Fell in love and lived on together,
She cooked him delicious meals,
Freshly

Leaving Salzburg:Edelweiss

For what dreams do you bring us,
With your champions pronounced in deeds,
And how many maids wait with longings in between?
Bring us dreams of golden tomorrows dear Edelweiss.

How many have fallen for you high one?
Your royal stems, petals so noble,
Above us you flourish in wait,
For how do your dreams bloom for such feats of valiance?

Tell me
