Westron Wynde from the 16th century lives on and is being sung in contemporary English in the 21st. Nobody knows how it will be sung in the centuries to come, but it will be sung.

lyrics

Oh, Westerlies! When will you blow and bring a little rain?
Christ, if my love were in my arms, and I in my bed again!

"Sweet and Low, part 2"

Over the rolling waters go,
Come from the dying moon, and blow,
Blow him again to me;
While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.

Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother’s breast,
Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of the west,
Under the silver moon:
Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
