"And so we parted"
by Elemmíre


And so we parted:
the wind ran on the grass
and my heart was bent
like the frail stems.

And so we parted:
rain trailed off the leaves
and my heart echoed
every mournful drop.

You, silent and still,
and my heart yearned
for what lay beyond:
and so we parted.

--Aragorn, on his parting from Arwen in 2951.
