Songs from the Trilogy
Rue's lullaby
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
The Hanging Tree
Are you, are youComing to the treeWhere they strung up a man they say murdered three.Strange things did happen hereNo stranger would it beIf we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.Are you, are youComing to the treeWhere the dead man called out for his love to flee.Strange things did happen hereNo stranger would it beIf we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.Are you, are youComing to the treeWhere I told you to run so we’d both be free.Strange things did happen hereNo stranger would it beIf we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.Are you, are youComing to the treeWear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.Strange things did happen hereNo stranger would it beIf we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
The Weeping Call (not in any of the books, but based on them) (from district 11's orchards)
"As I worked in the fields, not too far away. From my small, shanty home. I remembered the day, when the mockingjays sang the once old weeping call."
"They remember the trackers, and the stings that were plump. And the birds that flew in the trees. But do not forget natures sweet honey makers, called the bumblebees."
"I saw a woman, who worked in the orchard, who jumped from tree to tree. A dark haired beauty, nimble and quick was she. I loved her more than life itself, and offered if she ever needed help."
"After we became friends, and our eyes first met, I knew she was my very own. I waited for her that night, to come to the orchard. This place was like her home."
"I walked through to find her, and to my horror..... there was nothing I saw. But a fine, fair maiden, hanging from a tree, I sang my own weeping call."
"All those horrible nights, I spent, not leaving her alone. Even though her spirit was gone, to me her heart was my own."
"Everyone mourned her, but mostly me. Her silhouette haunted my few memories. The first day I saw her in the orchard, all those hours we spent. After I found a letter, her own little note, it was that to me she lent."
"My love, you are my life. I wish very dear to be your wife. But alas, I must leave you. I love you more than life itself. You, like me, are nimble and quick. But to this world, I no longer, can offer my life to stick."
"She, my love, had left this world. My life now has no meaning. I've even sometimes thought about my own Earth's leaving."
"As I worked in the fields, not too far away, from my small, now sullen home. I remembered the day, when me and the mockingjays sang, the once old weeping call."
