Song: Come, ye heavy states of night




 

This song is relatively new, by Elven standards, and has its origin in Rivendell where it can sometimes be heard in the Hall of Fire.

 

Come, ye heavy states of night, 
Do my fathers' spirits right, 
Soundings baleful let me borrow, 
Burthening my song with sorrow, 
Come, sorrow, come her eyes that sings, 
By thee are turned into springs.

Come, you children of the night, 
That in dirges sad delight, 
Choir my anthems, I do borrow 
Gold nor pearl, but sounds of sorrow: 
Come, sorrow, come her eyes that sings, 
By thee are turned into springs.
