This is the song Luthien sings to her imprisoned lover as she rides to his rescue. It originally appeared in "Gaergath, Son of Sauron" and after setting it to music I decided it could stand alone (somewhat revised.) It can be heard here...
~*~Luthien's Song~*~
Love, my love, lift up your head from your hard dark pillow, fear no more! I am here, drenched with longing keen as the seagull's cry wild as the call of the mating elk sweet as the breath of summer rain burning as the fire of holiness deep as the music of the seas to hear your voice and touch your hand.
I am coming, swift as the river, soon as your next breath, a blossom of readiness to ripen in your noontime to die inside you to dream in your waking to gather and dance to plant and to flourish day by day....
Love, my love, lift up your voice from your nest of horror from your cage of pain... Remember our joy and answer my song and know that I come on driving wing without delay as the wind of storm, as the lightning on the waves!
Love, my love, lift up your heart!
