Brother Mine – a poem of the death of the Dwarf brothers Fili and Kili
Go to sleep o brother of mine
Close your eyes as the dark draws near
Feel no hurt, nor misery
And the cries of battle no longer hear
I will stay with you, brother mine
I will keep you safe and warm
Close your eyes oh brother mine
Be at peace here in my arms.
I will follow, brother mine
We shall never be apart.
Fili and Kili, we are brothers
Two halves to one whole heart.
We are weak and we are weary
We've fought a battle through
We've defended Thorin, Uncle, King
To ourselves we have been true
So die with honor, brother mine
Now our time has come
So I'll lay beside you and breathe my last
So the line of Durin is done.
