Along the shores of Lake Louise
We walk through forest winding
The gifts of nature here abound
Her peaceful ways we’re finding
The spruce, the pine, the balsam fir
The autumn larch electric
The glaciers full of ancient ice
The snowy peaks majestic
A beehive in a bonnet high
A calm reflecting mirror
Our souls recharge, a sacred place
A sense of heaven nearer
A glowing smile upon her face
Sweet Rocky Mountain Daughter
Along the shores of Lake Louise
Translucent in the water
