I'll meet you in night's passing,
Beneath the flowering moon.
I'll meet you in the sunlight,
And sing you her bright tune.
I'll meet you in the spring,
When all cold has passed away:
Oh, please say you will meet me, too,
In the sunrise of that warm clear day.
Torn we were and sundered,
Before it was our time.
We dared not think of death's cruel trick,
Or betrayal of another kind.
The test was passed, the victory won,
Yet still before us lay
The years, the choice, the idyllic land
That stole so many hearts away.
Yet still I'll meet you, that far day,
When sun's fair fingers stroke the clouds.
I'll meet you, I promise, will you be there?
Two lights, two lives, two loves unbowed.
Don't leave me waiting, lone and chill
Don't leave me drowning in the dark.
Oh, I'll meet you in night's passing,
And together we will cover winter's chilly mark.

"A Flower in the Night"The dark is calling me, calling me
Through the shades of night
Forever calling me, calling
A ring of bloody fire hung before my eyes
Flames that would encircle my heart
Living flesh to ashes
I fear it even as I long for it
This thing that is beautiful as it is deadly
Like the cold, keen, and starlit edge of a knife
My morning within is fading to twilight
I am afraid—I reach out
To something beyond the shadows that smother me
A budding star lies just beyond my ken
Speak truly: I have not yet to die

"The Dawn's Music"
Through the mountains, through the valleys, through the raging seas
Rohan comes bearing the sun
A call, a note, a song of hope
From the horns, horns, horns.
Like thunder, like rain, like water on sand
The wild horns cry forth in mirth
Ringing like bells, singing like Elves
Sound the horns, horns, horns.
Cool wind on cold hopes stirs the fire anew
Sprouting wings, horns that bring
A tale told of new life in the sweetly sounding song
Of the horns, horns, horns.
