Mereth Nuin Giliath
Come home, come home, ye merry folk!
The sun is sinking, and the oak
In gloom has wrapped his feet.
Come home! The shades o f evening loom
Beneath the hills, and palely bloom
Night-flowers white and sweet.
Come home! The birds have fled the dark,
And in the sky with silver spark
The early stars now spring.
Come home! The bats begin to flit,
And by the hearth 'tis time to sit.
Come home, come home and sing!
Sing merrily, sing merrily, sing all together!
Let the song go! Let the sound ring!
- Mereth Nuin Giliath (“Feast Under Stars”)
From Annotated Hobbit by Douglas Anderson :- J.R.R. Tolkien's draft of a verse entitled 'Elvish Song in Rivendell' not published in The Hobbit.
