In the land of beauty In the realm of nature’s grace, The mountain peak Touches the sky, Where the snowy beds ascend. The mount adorned in pristine white Where a jewel in the crown basking in golden sunrays. An icy embrace where The harmony does sleep.
A tapestry of snowflakes Delicately spun, Glistering like diamonds, Well beneath the rosy morning Sun. An ethereal landscape, Untouched and pure, Where dreams unfold and hopes endure. The mountain whispers The stories of love and hatred Conquerors and sages A silent witness of battles fought and lost, A testament to the human spirit’s utmost. The wide bed of snowflakes, A miracle of nature, A treasure so fine. Through the age I have stood serene, A emblem of beauty Eternal and pristine of my love’s smile and tears.
