English teaser for those who were going to skip the Klingon:
* wovwI' has a strange dream -- and you're in it *
cha'Hu' qaStaHvIS ram jInajpu'. jInajtaHvIS qep'a'Daq tlhIH Salegh.

Inspired by my dream, and although I couldn't remember the song
properly in the original or the English, I wrote:
ayDelvIS, mach 'ej chIS
reH qaSDI' po chovan
ayDelvIS, ayDelvIS
batlh juHyuQwIj yIDan
I approached the "Klingons can't spell "ice" problem by changing the
pronunciation. In my version Eidelweiss rhymes with "idle fish."
