"Edelweiss" is a song from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music which is set in Austria. 

The great popularity of the song has led many of its audience to believe that it is an Austrian folk song or even the official national anthem.

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
