Fair Elven Lady
Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings, books or movies, and this poem is entirely fan-made.
Verse 1: Gone Again
Yonder fair oh Elven-maid
Above the frosty boughs was laid
To
thee of golden distant sun
To eyes alight till heart 'ere done
A
voice of song for clouds in air
And silver upon waves of
hair
Cheeks of cream and eyes that beam
Her hands a sail on
misted dream
Came up the slope of far off glen
A mystic
maid of wonder then
Her shoes of gold her skirt of white
Her
eyes sparkled in the blackened night
"Elven-fair!"
cried a voice in sorrow
"To seek thee ever beyond the
'morrow
Light of light cast upon the earth,
And you fair lady,
of royal birth"
"Rest thee in the golden
haven,
Jewels upon jewels the beast be laden
I come to thou
with gifts anon,
Wait for me there, for I have gone"
Sighed
in drear the fair quiet lady
The stars her guide 'till her heart
be ready
She whispered to the night a song so fair
That all the
pearls of the ocean gathered there
Over the mountains, past
the sea
To an unknown land, her lover be
Her tone strung high,
her hope dipped low
But alas there she could not go
Jingled
bells as down she flew
Across her chest the sword she drew
It
sparkled there in dazzling light
She saw not her lover come in the
dark of night
"Foul fate!" she cried in a voice so
pure
That announced her grief she could be sure
Thy won my
heart with lovers' tricks!
Annotate upon the beauty my heart doth
pick.
She gasped in grief, the stars wept
But alas her
dreams forever slept
Anon return? The foolish nave!
Yet her
heart pined still for one so brave
Elven-maid thy time is
spent
The moon is gone, the stars relent
Upon thy beauty a
shadow lies
May you forever search beneath the sky
