The Lady of the Golden Wood
What beauty have I seen with thee?
A land before our time I see!
Ere the song of death was sung
Back before the world was young
The shining queen of Lorien
Returned to light the world again.
Before the kings of Gondor fell,
Beyond the realm of Rivendell,
Fair beneath the trees she stood,
The Lady of the Golden Wood.
Upon her hand shines One of Three
The light to make her people free
And in her heart and in her mind
The starlight in her mirror shines
And there she sees the trials of men
And in her heart she prays for them.
For you see the time has come at last
That her people o'er the sea shall pass
Now the light of her people is gone
Their beauty passed to shores beyond.
She walks beneath the stars no more
Her footsteps fall in Valinor.
