When the green leaves were long

And the long leaves green

There amidst a sweet song

She walked unseen

Soft in the clear twilight

Hanging in the gloaming

Creature of the starlight

And the nightingales are singing

Caught between the crimson sun dying

And the moon's silver first beams

Born as the night-breeze sighing

Ever walking the hours of dreams

Walking the hours of the gloaming

Silent as though borne on wing

Between inevitable and impossible thing

Fairest daughter of the Evening.

Arwen Undomiel.
