“Song of Sun Valley” by Jack Kimball
Awake! Silent pearls have fallen in the night,
- as cast by gentle angels from the sky.
Rise! Rise upon the powdered blanket white,
- and bind your wings; prepare to fly.
For day awakes in crystal heaven blue;
- and time awaits on virgin snow.
The air commands. It’s clean, and cold, and true;
- Muir’s mountains call and you must go.
You’ll dance to laughing clouds a fine ballet,
- hold arms with freedom as you soar!
You’ll tease the sun while riding wind as play,
- be hailed by Urrl at Asgard’s door,
and live the dream with winter’s god, some say,
- and rise to ski for evermore.
