Falor's Journey is a Vulcan tale of enlightenment consisting of 348 verses. Falor was a prosperous merchant who went on a journey to gain greater awareness. Lieutenant Tuvok's youngest son was particularly fond of his father playing Falor's Journey on his lute. (VOY: "Innocence")

Through storms he crossed the Voroth Sea
To reach the clouded shores of Raal
Where old T'Para offered truth.
He traveled through the windswept hills
And crossed the barren Fire Plains
To find the silent monks of Kir.
Still unfulfilled, he journeyed home
Told stories of the lessons learned
And gained true wisdom by the giving.
Oddly, the melody resembles "Frodo's Theme" from the 1979 Rankin-Bass animated Return of the King, from the Lord of the Rings.
