Summary: Quickbeam heads out in haste, as is his wont, at some point after the War of the Ring to quixotically search for the lost, but will his hope be fulfilled?

I go out in haste to search for them,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

The Entwives, who lost have been,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

Of the Entwash I drink deeply now,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

The forest leave I behind me now,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

Rowans lost, once fair, crowned free,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

The Entwives, I beg, return to we,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

Past old Arnor’s borders bold go I,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

And now and then an Eagle cries,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

Round Arda’s imagin’d corners call,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

And come to me, lost Entwives all,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

Though fruitless may my labors seem,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië,

And naught but hasty, quixotic dream,

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië.
