Legolas' POV.
~
We knew the land once,
You and I,
As it knew us,
by and by...
Slowly changing,
Slowly aging,
but not you and I,
not by and by...
Love had come for you,
Beloved dark one,
Not for me, too little few...
Love had shown you life -
one without me...
But it was you and I,
by and by.
The land we knew once,
You and I,
It changed, like us,
By and by...
No longer dark and fair,
hands no longer held,
She stole you away,
Love took you,
By and by...
I look to the golden land,
The land we knew once,
But, like us,
It died,
By and by...
I step upon the ship and sing,
Sing for the
land I knew once,
like I used to know you,
But it was passing and dying, like us,
By and by...
I turn and look once more,
At the land we once knew,
You and I
But, you weren't there...
I had to let you go...
By and by...
