An Edelweiss lyrics

Oh so small and simple

So common in the alpine

So rare in lowland clime

Yet she graces my abode

Present in the verdant greenery

Unseen to the unknowing

Yet my greatest pride

A symbol of purity

A living link of homeland

In the mountains so majestic

Growing wild in meadows

Purest white like snowflakes

As if freshly fallen

On the grassy garlands

She bestows upon the land

A brilliant vestal carpet

There were so many to love

But now so few and precious

To find a bloom is to find gold

A delicate treasure

Guarded and nurtured

In voiceless elegance

She is...an edelweiss
