Stanzas written like "this" are Frodo's thoughts and stanzas like
this are the words of the Elves.

Lye Kalina (Our Light)

Light that once was, has faded.
The eyes that held truth have been vanquished.
The mouth that spoke wisdom has been silenced
And the hands that healed, have been crushed.

"Where, O Where are you now?
My eyes that beheld your light are extinguished,
My mouth that spoke of you has been quelled,
The breath you placed in me has died dry,
And my hands that embraced you, have fallen quiet"

"Yet my soul still searches,
I know you are there,
Your voice is an echo inside my heart
But still I fall apart."

Distraction is what you are
I have a duty to perform
Yet still you around and in me
My thoughts lure me from my task.

"I saw you fall
I saw your death
I saw your fear
for us, you called
As for us, we fled."

Above the stars
Beyond the heavens
Higher than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Your love for the races endures in our hearts
Your body may be destroyed,
but your spirit remains.

Mithrandir,
Mithrandir
