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>
