-1 Where sea and sky meet
(a Lament for Aragorn by his Queen, Arwen Undomiel)
Beneath the shade we parted
ere the sun set in the west.
Left alone here, broken hearted
Watching you take final breath
---
I knew that your time was coming
That your night was drawing nigh
Yet I never thought I'd feel this way
When kissing you goodbye
---
We had many years together
Loving, laughing, weeping too;
And I always felt contented,
My heart being one with you
---
But I see your eyes are dimming;
Your breath comes in fitful gasps,
So I sing to you and kiss you
Knowing it will be your last
---
Oh sweet Aragorn, my love and king
I know your death is near
My heart is tearing in my breast
To see you lying there
---
But I know that someday, ere to long
when my years, too, are spent
I will meet with you across the sea
And once more be content!
---
Where stars cast silver light upon
The land, undying green
Where old friends are waiting there upon
The shore line, pail and keen
---
I will meet thee there, my faithfull love
And there it is we'll greet,
Though I watched your death, still soon we'll stand
Where sea and sky do meet!
