Quickbeam's song was a lament sung by the Ent Quickbeam for the rowan trees that he loved, which were cut down by Orcs. He softly sang the lament in many tongues during the first night of the Entmoot on February 30 of 3019 as Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took fell asleep to his voice.

Poem

O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!
O rowan fair, upon your hair how white the blossom lay!
O rowan mine, I saw you shine upon a summer's day,
Your rind so bright, your leaves so light, your voice so cool and soft:
Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft!
O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey;
Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a day.
O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!

In adaptations

A few lines of Quickbeam's song are given to Treebeard in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. He is reciting poetry to Merry and Pippin as he carries them to his home, Wellinghall, and they fall asleep in his arms.
