sally_mariaAnother tricky one, and this is more of an aspiration than a reality.
I decided to go for this, one of my favourite Tolkien Ensemble settings - the song Sam sings in Mordor, when he's pretty much out of hope, but something in him won't let go. I don't think I could ever be as brave or as devoted as Sam, but I do aim for something of his simple hope.
Sam's Song in the Orc Tower by the Tolkien Ensemble
Sam's Song in the Orc Tower, from Return of the King by JRR Tolkien
In western lands beneath the Sun
the flowers may rise in Spring,
the trees may bud, the waters run,
the merry finches sing.
Or there maybe 'tis cloudless night
and swaying beeches bear
the Elven-stars as jewels white
amid their branching hair.
Though here at journey's end I lie
in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.
