"Nimrodel"
(Legolas)
The waters sang to me of peace.
Sweet Nimrodel! I call to thee
From places where all light is gone
And hope that you remember me.
My eyes are heavy now with tears,
My body aches from battling;
Yet gladly would I journey forth
If only I could hear you sing.
Of golden leaves in Lorien
You whispered to my broken heart.
Ah, Nimrodel, you ease my pain
And slowly tear my soul apart.
I knew you when the world was young.
I danced upon your earthy shore.
No care I knew, yet now I fear
That I shall hear thy songs no more.
Sweet Nimrodel, when days are done
And mingled blood of friend and foe
Flows to your waters, sing to me
Of lands where all the dead men go.
And if my blood among the slain
Finds you again, I pray thee hold
Me in your song that I may toil
No longer as in days of old.
Not long ago you sang of peace.
Sweet Nimrodel! I call to thee
From places where all hope is gone
And hope that you remember me.
...end...
