An awsome crown of snow-capped peaks
along the borders of the Alpine.
While sun sips from brim of the morn
with sweet orange clementine.

In the snowy kingdom of another day
firelight burning within an Alps chalet.
While Venus shining with romance
within the twilight of windsongs dance.

Statuesque pine trees gently bow
upon mountain slopes on display.  
Midnight blue and pink velvet clouds
blossom within a flowery bouquet.

The cresent moon shines bright within
the majesty of the Swiss mountains.

No, I don't live there anymore, but it is my homeland, was born there at the lake of Zurich and will always always love my mountains. In my youth I have been on quite a few fantastic peaks. Never will I forget!
But to live in the eternal city is not so bad at all either...
Love and hugs.
