Dante’s Prayer

I walked thru the woods in summer time
The wind in the leaves up above
The sun was shining all around me on the ground
The bees they were humming all around.
Then I saw her stand still and alone
A vision from dream she must have been
Her hair was long and black as raven and
Her eyes they sparkled emerald green

Please let me come to you my love now
Please do not be just a dream
Here in Lorien I see your face
Please come to me!

Then she turned around and stared at me
Who are you who disturbs my dreams?
I am here waiting for someone to come
And take me away with them.
Take my hand and look at me
Are you the one of my dreams
I fell into her arms then
What a lovely dream!

She took me gently by the hand
And led me down to the waters edge
There we pledged to one another
Warm and clear was that day
As we stood beneath the Mallorn’s
Our hearts now beating as one
Our lives we live together now
And we go forth as one

Come with me now my dear love
Let us walk in the dreams no more
Let us live now together
Under the Mallorn’s tall!
