A/N: This is not a part of the 'Tales of the Morningstar' series.

And well, this makes no sense at all!

Alright, I'll explain.

First, I DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANDSES HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW TO WRITE POETRY! Second, the reason I posted this is because I hope to get some sleep now that I have this out of my head! Third, good luck finding a rhythm in this bowl of smoosh (is that a word?) 'cuz I had a hard time doin' that. Fourth, I made this thing under an hour ago, so don't except something grand, aight?


My heart is weary, broken, and torn

split in two

for the choice I need to make

is a choice that will break

the hearts of my kin

Oh, how my heart grieves for the time

when Teleri bows

broke

and Ñoldorin swords

shattered

Daro a maetho, I heard

Delio a drego, they said

My heart is heavy, grieving and saddened

divided in parts

for the choice I did make

were a choice that broke

the hearts of my kin

Oh, how my heart grieves for the time,

when Teleri bodies

sank

and Ñoldorin bodies

burned

Savo hîdh nen gurth, I grieved

Nínion an gwannad dhîn, they weeped

My father

my mother

myself

like my heart

grieving

for the loss of the lives that we could naught save,

for the battle by the shores we could not prevent,

and the water and fire which became their grave,

my heart bleeds whilst I sing this lament


Elven translations:

Daro a maetho - Stay and fight

Delio a drego - Hide and flee

Savo hîdh nen gurth - Have peace in death

Nínion an gwannad dhîn - I mourn your passing

GOOD FREAKIN' NIGHT, EVERYBODY!
