Elven Lullaby

The world is darkening...
The night sky, black as ink;
Ancient elves hearkening,
To the soft sounds of the night

The nocturnal eyes opening,
Warmth flooding through their viens,
iron swords sheathing,
wash away war's stains

White stars brightly glimmering
The silver moon smiling down,
eyes catch the light: shimmering;
The world tranquil and calm

This is the elves' song
To put the little ones to their beds
To soothe them into slumber
Rest their weary heads....
