Heavens is here 'neath the mountain walls, In the song of the wind and the waterfalls, In the watchful stars that blanket the night And the music of birds before the dawn light. Heaven is here in our mountain keep. In the silence and dim of the forest deep, From the chestnut tall as the mightiest mast, To the laurel flowers in the shadow it casts. Heaven is here on theses mountains high, In ancient stone castles that challenge the sky, In the thunder and flash that ring from their fight And the meadows made gold by the day's final light. .

This quote is especially poignant in the winter months when the mountains hide below the snow and trees are bare of their beautiful summer shade.
