The tree-woven lands of Middle-earth My heart desires to know A place that now Only those Who walk in dreams may go
Yet on the wings of dreams I fly Cross sundering seas of Time, And find you there Upon the shore Beneath the stars that shine.
With beckoning smile you bid me come And we mount swift steeds of white, We ride like Silvered thunder Through the misty, sapphire night.
We walk the deep-green forest paths; Through moonlit meadows run, And I long to see The wood by day And the river in the sun
But too soon the dawn with strokes of gray Has tinged the Eastern sky, And we must say Our fond farewells And to the coastlands fly.
For you must away to your far land And I must away to mine But ever we Will share this dream Beneath the stars that shine.
Beneath the glittering stars that shine Two hearts dreams are intertwined In love for a land where they cannot go; One who knew, One who longs to know The Tree-woven lands of Middle-earth Where we meet And walk in dreams
