Mount Diablo

Rising proudly and majestic, Mount Diablo,
Reigning mighty and benevolent, o’er its realm below,
Ever constant, ever changing, regal views to show,
On a grateful population, blessings to bestow,

Winter beauty, still and peaceful, blanketed by snow,
Summer foothills, calm and tranquil, emerald grasses grow,
Fields of mustard in the valley, with their golden glow,
Graceful scenes from Pleasant Hill and marshy Solano,

Morning, evening, peak is rising o’er the fog below,
Multicolored rays of sunlight – sunrise, sunset glow,
Eternal beauty, gift was given, millennia ago,
Elegance and joy forever, Mount Diablo,

Keep the beauty, save the mountain, Mount Diablo.
