Lullaby for Frodo
(Sung to him in the old days by his mother)
Westel
Cheruh, my little one,
Cheruh, my child.
Rest in my arms, my love;
Bide here awhile.
Shut now those weary eyes,
Put thoughts to rest.
Lay in my arms, my child;
Dream a dream blest.
Put down your daily play,
Still now your hands.
Dream of adventures, love,
In far-off lands.
Bye-low, my little one,
Hush, little man.
Don't grow too fast, my son,
Stay if you can.
Cheruh, my little one,
Cheruh, my child.
Rest in my arms, my love;
Bide here awhile.
