"Edelweiss" was the last song ever penned by Rodgers and Hammerstein. By this time, Oscar Hammerstein was dying. In the book The Sound of Music: The Making of America's Favorite Movie, Julia Antopol Hirsch writes: "He knew he was dying when he wrote the number, which makes the simple song about a man's love for his country even more powerful."

The word Edelweiss is a combination of the German words "noble" and "white". The Edelweiss flower is generally found in the mountainous regions of Austria and Bavaria, Germany. It is a small, white, wooly flowering plant. Although it was believed to always have grown in this region, new evidence shows that it may have been brought from Asia in the past few centuries.

:: EDELWEISS ::
Music by Richard Rodgers; Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein

Edelweiss,
Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow
Forever

Edelweiss,
Edelweiss,
Bless my homeland
Forever
