"Das Edelweiss!"

Auf den Höhen, zwischen dem Gestein,
gut versteckt, daß es keiner find,
steht das Edelweiss, so zart und fein,
mit Schnee bedeckt, trotzt es dem eisigen Wind.

So manch ein Jüngling wagte es doch,
und kletterte hoch in die Felsenregion.
Er suchte das Edelweiss für seine Liebste,
sein Leben in die Hand nahm dieser tapfere Sohn.

Er musste es finden, im Schnee und im Eis,
in dämmernder Stunde suchte er weiter, aber vergebens
um seine Liebe zu beweisen, egal zu welchem Preis.
Für seinen Schatz, als er verunglückte,
in der Blüte seines Lebens

The "Edelweiss Flower Pendant", in Sterling Silver.
The Edelweiss has a very special meaning for most southern Germans,
(in Bavaria) and also in countries like Austria and Switzerland.
It is a flower that is found in a mostly mountainous areas,
amongst steep cliffs and rocks!

Many young men have searched, trying to get this special flower,
to prove their love for their sweethearts.
It surely takes a lot of courage and determination
and often ends in hardship to find this special flower.
Usually the Edelweiss grows very well hidden,
amongst steep cliffs and very treacherous terrain.
To get one of these flowers for your lover is very meaningful!
It is very rare and therefore real proof of the true love,
if a fellow presents it to his special girl!
The Edelweiss has no worldly value,
but the very deep thought behind it, to get this rare mountain flower,
that's what makes this flower very special.

(The Edelweiss Flower is also under
"environmental protection and conservation", in these countries.)
