Sloping hills stretch into lush green valleys below
Where picturesque scenes of assorted flowers grow
Frail petals are painted with rich colorful hues
Shaded reds and yellows, to wispy darkened blues

Showy mixture abounds mid breezing blades of grass
Standing tall throughout the hills calm majestic pass
The billowing breeze whispers in soft sweetened flair
Fragrant scent of flowers sweeps across open air

Flowing streams sparkle with cool waters crystal clear
A slight rushing is heard upon approaching near
Rock laden beds flourish in springs showering rains
Abundance of life is given from the coursing veins

Above surging waters the alighted birds sing
Some pausing to preen feathers on a ruffled wing
Leafy branches in scattered trees hold them aloft
Chirping voices in havens hold sing very soft

Beautiful flowers dance beneath cloudless blue skies
Billowing winds bring the orchestra to a rise
The harmonies combined play daily without cease
Music composed provides the valley tranquil peace
