4. Mirkwood Lullaby
For nothing can harm you,
So long as I'm by you.
Rest now, my sweet one;
The bright stars are shining,
The Dreamweaver guards you.
Sleep now, my dear one.
In Mirkwood you dream,
And here dreams are sweetest.
The Valar protect you,
The Trees of Light bless you,
The stars shine on your face,
The moon show you a place
Where you may rest
And forever be blessed
With this Mirkwood Lullaby.
Dream now, my little one,
Sleep to my song:
The heavens await you.
