Legolas gazed silently around him at the beauty of Lothlorien. He was
listening intently to the mournful song of the Elves, and the sadness of it
pierced his heart. "A lament for Gandalf..." He murmured.
"What do they say about him?" Merry asked quietly.
Legolas looked at him sadly. "I have not the heart to tell you. For me the
grief is still to near."
But many years after the Fellowship, he told me and my friend Devie Saves.
I have recorded it here to the best of my ability.
The wise Grey Pilgrim, of faraway lands
The scars of the ages he bears on his hands
His loyal white steed hath carried him far
But now runs apart beneath lonely stars
He hath fallen to Shadow, to water and fire
Saving his friends, when their need was dire
The Istari with heart and eyes of gold
With a story to remember in all tales of old
Will rest now, in peace, and as the end nears
For this song will remember 'till end of all years
Of no greater grief has been known to us all
For into the darkness, has Mithrandir fall
From us he is absent, for us he was sent,
So remember the Pilgrim, and this last lament
