Lay of the Gold and Silver


Disclaimer: Don't own squat. If I owned anything Tolkien related I'd have money pouring out of my ears; and I certainly wouldn't be limited to posting my poems on the Internet.

Laurelin, Tree of Gold
Telperion the White
Greatest creations of old
Blessing the land with light

Born of Yavanna's song
and Nienna's hushed tears
before shadows were long
In a time with no fears

Long in bliss lived these twain
Yet Darkness watched ever
Malice poured forth like rain
Life he sought to sever

With the spider's power
Morgoth came, cloaked in night
The Two Trees they did scour
Destroying splendor bright

Beauty akin would appear nevermore
to that of the Two Trees of Valinor
