Martagon’s Quiet Valley
In a valley so still,
Martagon lilies play,
Their petals soft and chill,
In breezes light as day.
Colors calm, they stand,
On tender, fragile stems,
A quiet, peaceful land,
Where life softly hums.
In shadows, they bloom,
A secret, gentle dance,
Through the valley’s room,
They sway in sweet trance.

In a glade unknown,
Where the lilies grow,
In shadows, all alone.

Far from any sight,
Blooming year to year,

In this hidden bed,
Where all sounds are hushed.
A place so serene,
Where the flowers reign,
Lush, untouched, and green,
Through sunshine and rain.

The lily stands through stormy skies,
With petals bright, a fiery hue,
Her courage shows where darkness lies.
Against the wind, she boldly tries,
To hold her ground, to see it through,
The lily stands through stormy skies.
Her strength is known, it never dies,
Though rain may fall, her heart is true,
Her courage shows where darkness lies.
With every gust, she still defies,
The tempest fierce, the skies askew,
The lily stands through stormy skies.
No tear or fear, no tearful cries,
Her spirit strong, in colors new,
Her courage shows where darkness lies.

In storm and light, she greets the dew,
The lily stands through stormy skies,
Her courage shows where darkness lies.
