Bridal Journey
Beauty to warm the cool air
Joy to be a millionaire
Bridal journey in a canoe
the strong smell of woodland mildew
Rugged valley, it’s quite dangerous
careful so not to endanger us
Brilliance of snow-clad hills in the distance
to see the beauty of its existence
Clouds appearing over the highest ridge top
it is time to move before we have a quick stop.
