Original media : TES Online Compiled and translated By Chak-Shushu Egg-Tender's Lullaby (unattributed) Little Thtithil, Little Thtithil Drink up your sap Little Thtithil, Little Thtithil Its time for your nap Little Thtithil, Little Thtithil Rest in your shell Little Thtithil, Little Thtithil We'll keep you well Little Thtithil, Little Thtithil Gently you turn Little Thtithil, Little Thtithil Grow hard and firm Hist Hymn (unattributed) Among the roots where we are born, Bathed in your sap to shape our form, We gather here to sing your praise, And give our thanks for those you raise. Wind ring your chimes with its caress, Mud hold you firm through all distress, Rain reach your roots past golden rays, Sun kiss your leaves for all your days. Bless your every branch and bough, Beneath which we make each our vows. Bless your tender bark and flowers, Blessed are we to call you ours. Hatchling's Rhyme by Mimme Tinkle, tinkle, hollow chime, Singing with me as I rhyme For our darlings in their nest, Drifting off to well-earned rest. How you sway and dance with ease, On the evening's gentle breeze. Conjure thoughts of lazy streams, Ferry them to pleasant dreams. Tinkle, tinkle, hollow chime, Singing with me as I rhyme. Guide us through the evening mist, Home to the roots of our Hist. Tender Roots by Chak-Shushu As I lie beneath you Nestled in your embrace I am moist with morning dew From the time we spend enlaced Basking under the sun's golden kiss I am hot as humid air, My breath exhales as mist Until the warmth is more than I can bear I wet my scales, slick with mud Shaded by your caring boughs Among your loving roots I cool my blood And then begin to drowse You sing me a gentle lullaby Of chimes in the breeze To plant your seed in my mind's eye And give me dreams of trees.
