This song was composed on Tol Eressëa and taught to the men of Westernesse ere the Downfall. It tells of how Arien descends with Anor, the Sun, beyond the Pelóri and rests on the surface of the Outer Sea, before the servants of Ulmo draw them underneath the Earth to the East where they rise again.
Weep you no more, sad fountains;
What need you flow so fast?
Look how the snowy mountains
Heav'n's Sun doth gently waste.
But Arien's heav'nly eyes
View not your weeping
She now lies sleeping,
Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.
Sleep is a reconciling,
A rest that peace begets.
Doth not the Sun rise smiling
When fair at e'en she sets?
Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,
Melt not in weeping
While she lies sleeping,
Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.
