4. Nostalindë
Come to this world
Glorious child
In joy we greet you
Cheerily sing
Nothing so perfect
Stands on this earth
You bring us joy
Oh innocent elfling
Shining so bright
Newborn little one
Your smile is a treasure
Worth a fortune
*~~*
Come to this world
Fragile and frail
What deep secrets
Could you unveil?
Your eyes so wise
Yet new and clear
Filled with wonder
Not tainted yet by fear
Eru's little creation
Born from a dream
Of the shining sun
You are a dream
*~~*
Come to this world
To laugh or to cry
Growing and learning
As summers go by
Seasons will change
So will your heart
Soon you'll forget
Where you did start
Innocence lost
Bitter fruits reap
But for now love
Be blessed and sleep
*~~*
