Lord of the Rings: Bregalad's Song

Bregalad's Song

This song is sung Merry and Pippin by Bregalad, or Quickbeam as he is also know. Bregalad recounts the death of his trees, the rowan trees, at the hand of Saruman's orcs.

Bregalad's Song O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!
O rowan fair, upon your hair how white blossom lay!
O rowan mine, I saw you shine upon a summer's day,
Your rind so bright, your leaves so light, your voice so cool and soft:
Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft!
O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey:
Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a day.
O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!
