I have given you my love,

Love, I beg you, give your heart.

They are gone; 'tis only us

twined in the night beneath the stars.

Your eyes shine bright, my sweetest love,

Love, I beg you, smile at me.

I have given you my heart,

Through pain untold may we endure.

Your laugh, like silver bells, rings out,

Love, I beg you, turn to me.

I will hold you through the night

for my heart you bear within your hands.

I have given you my love,

Love, I beg, grant me your vow.

In the silence, in the night,

I have given you my heart.


A/N: This is an ode from Aegnor to Andreth - it's my first Silmarillion poem, and I hope you like it!
