On the Second Singing by Lferion

On the Second Singing

<p>Oh who will birdseed bring<br />
For Manwë, Lord of Air?<br />
Or invocations sing<br />
To Varda, 'gainst despair?<br />
Weep at any spring<br />
For Ulmo's aid and care?</p>

<p>In memory we hold them<br />
Beneath the Remmirath<br />
Collecting every gem,<br />
Putting off the wrath<br />
That surely must condemn<br />
For straying from the path</p>

<p>Call forth the shooting-stars<br />
Comets, cosmic dust<br />
They sing their final bars<br />
With hearts yet full of trust<br />
Hope fireflies in jars<br />
Weathering strange gusts</p>

<p>Lost within the story,<br />
A favored place and fair<br />
Ephemera of glory<br />
Lies light in Aulë's hair<br />
Let Arda start feliciatory<br />
The Second Singing dare.</p>
