Tell me, are you today in joy
As you the scents of the pine trees enjoy
Does your heart, gushing, sing
Overwhelmed with feeling, do the notes ring?
For before my eyes does stand
The hallowed air of this mountainous land.
The awesome presence of the Devadaru trees
Is healing my compulsive eating sprees.
What greater gift can there ever be
As I see this gift solemnly.
“Greatest gift to student given
I seek neither throne nor empire
Nor the brighter joys of heaven.”
