Here's a good portrayal of the day Rue--tribute of District 11--with Katniss singing her lullaby in the little girl's deathbed.

The Hunger Games Update: Rue's Lullaby
One of the best book series I read is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. With the upcoming The Hunger Games movie starred by Jennifer Lawrence as the heroine Katniss Everdeen, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark; people from the Mockingjay.net start singing the songs written by the author herself. Among these songs are Rue's lullaby and The Hanging Tree, Katniss Everdeen's father's song.
Here are the tunes composed and sung by Kimmy West of the Mockingjay.net to fit the lyrics.
Lyrics:
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise
Here it's safe, and 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, and 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.
Here is the place where I love you.
Lyrics:
Are you, are you
coming to the tree
where they strung up a man they say murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
coming to the tree
Where I told you to run so we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you
coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
