Arda
In a land long ago
Where Elves could make their own long bow
Fire, water, wind and earth
The trees could now have their birth
The Elves made a long flowing cloak
And lived with all of their folk
Born at the beginning of time
Their hair was golden, long and fine
The Dwarves hovever lived underground
In caverns deep in which they found
Mining, crafts and stonework
Where all is dark and deamons lurk
Men are mortal and must die
And Edoras hall which stands high
The mountains in which they take pride
And Rohan's Horses that they ride
Istari are wizards their number unknown
They know magical plants, stars and stone
Hats, cloaks, staffs and all
Horses, Eagles they can call
Hobbits are extremely short
And to be orgernised they do sought
Peace and quiet they adore
They wouldn't like to go to war
Creatures of the forest unseen
Some of them nice, some of them mean
Ents are old and tall like trees
And birds that fly over southern seas
Lakes, mountains, seas of deep
Hidden jewels and treasure they keep
Sandy shores, sun in the sky
Horses and carts passing by
The sun is setting the lakes are still
All is quiet on Weathertop Hill
On the river the swan boat floats
Anduin windes Lorien like a moat
Lorien
When evening in the wood was hush
Every big tree and little bush
Was stood as still as a mountain
In the middle of the silver fountain
All of the leaves made a shimmering loom
They all circled the waxing moon
The Elves of Lorien danced round a tree
In the distance you could see the sea
The water of the river was an icy blue
It was the colour of the night sky too
The presence of the magic was near
There is nothing that you should fear
The trees were big and full of leaves
And blossomed in the summers eves
The Elves made cloaks from leaves and silk
The moon in the sky was a creamy milk
The lady of the wood had a white swan boat
She also had a long flowing cloak
Her long blonde hair and sharp blue eyes
And natural beauty never ever dies
