3. A Short Rest
O! What are you doing?
And where are you going?
They went into a hidden valley in deep summer’s dusk, a party of travellers needing rest, assurance - and the help of one who was both the heir of Elves and of the heroes of the North.
O! tra-la-la-lally
here down in the valley
Down there they found merry Elves, peace and rest for all - and wisdom. Swords were named, maps deciphered, songs sung and feasts eaten.
O! Will you be staying,
Or will you be flying?
And on blue midsummer’s day they rode away to adventure
O! tra-la-la-lally
