Do You Go (A Traveler's Song)
Do you go and
Do you carry
Your great songs
And your tales
O'er hills and
O'er valleys
Where wind doth blow
And sun doth shine
Do you go? Do you go?
Beyond mountains,
Over great seas
Sailed by strangers
From all lands
Beyond meadows neverending
The desert's burning fire,
Flowing streams
Laced with gold
Where your soul
Will never tell
Do you go? Do you go?
Count the tears
Of fallen angels
As they yearn
For the sky
Do you go and
Do you carry
Your great songs
And your tales
O'er hills and o'er valleys
To your home
Among the trees....
Do you go?
----------------- ---------------- -----------------
Do not listen to the swell and fall
Of the gentle sea as it sings
Last remnant of Iluvatar's song calls
Hear it in the cry of the gulls
And you'll be gone; like them, taken wing.
The boats await on the shores
Grey as the towering clouds before rain
There, the Flowering Foam moors
She creaks and bows with ageless mast
Whispering, 'The old ones cannot ramain.'
Farewell to the mountains of ancient tale,
And to lake, the sky, beloved forest
No more, Beleriand, all gone to sail...
People of light, harken to sea and lo!
Final welcome haven in the True-West.
----------------- ----------------- ----------------
Come my child,
I'll sing thee to sleep
Come my child,
I'll sing thee to sleep
You don't know
How far from home you rest
Let your eyes close
And drift into a dream...
Softly now, away
----------------- ----------------- -----------------
Come, walk with me
I'll take your hand
For 'tis cold and I know
You'll want company
We'll go and become
The way we see
For now is the time for glory.
Say your prayers by day
And walk with me
Sleep by night
And dream peacefully
For the sky is bright.
Middle earth, open wide
Your arms for us
When the time is right
We shall fade
And lay ourselves
In your deep embrace
Until the time
That we shall rise
Tell us now,
When will your endless days
Cease the age of man
And when the times comes
That Elves return,
That's the dawn
When we shall rise again
----------------- ------------------ ------------------
Barren hills, ablack with sorrow
Will moan into the wind
And the weeping clouds
Will hide away the sun
The muirs will no longer soundly sleep
When the last of the faeries have gone.
And evermore, the crying birds
Will lament the yellow flowers frayed...
The vibrant magic lost,
The castle's ghost just fades away
No more the pipes whine loved songs
The marching men of lore
Have their colored banners lain aside;
The legends are told no more.
And old, crippled, blind Father Time
His cracking voice carries on
The last forlorn song to the skies
The echoes travel faintly through the mountains
And are lost
As the last lovely ballad slowly dies
------------------ ------------------ -----------------
My Song
Why are you crying, my child
Face to the sun?
Tell me your story,
Weep for the eve man has lost
Tears falling like
Petals in the wind
Why are you smiling, my child
Face to the sun?
Remember your beginnings,
Weep for the day man has lost.
Where ever you may be going,
Try not to forget me.
I will be crying,
My face to the sun
No one to hear my stories
I will be weeping,
My tears falling
Like the rains of the storm
I've mountains to climb...

Chibi Leggy: *sigh* Sad ones, no? A lot of them are quite old, too, but
seemed to fit well with Lord of the Rings, so I altered them slightly. ^_^
I hope you like....
Until next time! *blows some kisses*
