Rivendell - Back To Lands We Once Did Know lyrics
rate meDown the swift dark stream you go<br />
Back to lands you once did know! <br />
Leave the halls and caverns deep, <br />
Leave the northern mountains steep, <br />
<br />
Where the forest wide and dim<br />
Stoops in shadow grey and grim! <br />
Float beyond the world of trees<br />
Out into the whispering breeze, <br />
<br />
Past the rushes, past the reeds, <br />
Past the marsh's waving weeds, <br />
Through the mist that riseth white<br />
Up from mere and pool at night! <br />
<br />
Follow, follow stars that leap<br />
Up the heavens cold and steep; <br />
Turn when dawn comes over land, <br />
Over rapid, over sand, <br />
<br />
South away! and South away! <br />
Seek the sunlight and the day, <br />
Back to pasture, back to mead, <br />
Where the king and oxen feed! <br />
Back to gardens on the hills<br />
Where the berry swells and fills<br />
Under sunlight, under day! <br />
South away! and South away! <br />
<br />
Down the swift dark stream you go<br />
Back to lands you once did know! <br />
Leave the halls and caverns deep, <br />
Leave the northern mountains steep</
