The Edelweiss As majestic are the Edelweiss That bear even the cold The pristine in the harsh Valiant and bold Stand they not withered By snow ice and wind But grow they are patient From Winter they will send Fitting they portray Strength will and heart For strength they are needed To play the soldier’s part

To truly understand the above prose, one must have a history lesson. The German army, or Der Wehrmacht, used the Edelweiss flowers, which each soldier must pick himself, as a sign of strength, as they only grow in the Swiss Alps.

Seems fitting enough, though I don't recall it.
