A. N. Watch out for some rare grammatical structures in this tale, I meant to write it in a more old English style. Thanks everyone that might have sent a review.
P. S. What do you think of the dialogue between Gilestel and Dyni? ^_^
Remembrance of old: Gilestel
Now the clouds are in the skies.
Night has come and daylight dies.
Bitter cold is all about,
Feel your blade in your hand stout.
Nothing roams down in the ground.
Nothing therefore shall be found.
Quietness you can enjoy.
Silence is but great a joy.
For those who bow to the king
That keep order lingering
A moment of silence is
For the soldier somehow bliss.
In the shadows something moves;
'Tis the woman that he loves.
Leaping down onto the stone
Fearing not to be alone.
Wonder lies within his heart,
She wants not to be apart.

Lord Gilestel:
When darkened night is not yet gone
And chill is air at hand.
When Moon is high and Sun is done
With lightening the land
The time is not yet ripe to come.
Why come you here, Dainúviel fair,
Amidst the wearisome?
Lady Dainúviel:
When starlit sky is hung above
And cold is grip of air.
I know that time is not for love;
I wish to see thee fair.
Perhaps I err in my doing
But understand, Gilestel lord,
My heart is but grieving.
Lord Gilestel:
I wonder at your grieving ill,
My heart cannot foretell
The reason of your weary will
That lies within the shell.
I wonder what is grieving you.
Pray tell me, then, so I might know
How grieve your heart I do.
Lady Dainuviel:
How can you know? Indeed you are
My reason of unrest.
But still you dare, I deem so far,
To think of this as jest.
When come I am amidst the night
Do not hold me as simple youth,
For I deem my heart right.
Lord Gilestel:
Do not yet hold my wonder wrong,
For I jeer not at thee.
I want to know, lady, ere long,
What brings thee before me?
For it is cold and night is here,
And I will not have you to stay
Amidst many a tear.
Lady Dainúviel:
When long ago I first beheld
The majesty of thine
My heart was high, but it was held
Within learnt manners mine
But now I say to you alone:
Please hearken me, for you should know
That I came to love you.
Lord Gilestel:
My heart is high amidst the dark,
For it has proven true,
In matters mine, that none shall hark
What I shall say to you:
My heart and mind are bent to thee,
Please harken me! Please hearken me!
My love is where you be.
Lady Dainúviel:
I am now filled with pride and joy,
For I feel no ill-will
That with our love may play and toy
In evil manner still.
In bliss I lie, for love I find,
Within your mind, within your heart,
That we forever bind.
* * *
Riding in a sea of foes,
Fearing all the dreadful woes,
Hewing down an evil blade
Without hope for any aid.
Many battlements about
Drive the Hylians to a rout.
Gazing at the hopelessness
Still the lord wrought rightfulness.
Mortal wound, thus, he received.
His blade last he then perceived.
She was also slain ere long
Though her feats were kept in song.
Now together they shall dwell
Within ageless blessing dell,
Among those of blessing gaze,
For Hylia was still their race.

Sun is rising from the east, feel the warmer beams fall.
Wake up along the fairest living thing of them all.
Look about you to perceive, morning dew like a veil
Over her face that shuns the shadows into quail.
Caress her soft face and feel, silken skin you can sense.
Dainúviel fair, who turns the shadows into brightness dense
Kiss her brow and feel her breath, see her lips as they part.
Stare at her eyes wrought with immense love, as if art.
Waver as her gaze now strays, meet her eyes with your own
Feel all the bliss as her lips smile and yours are not alone
Afternoon is not come yet, time flows not when she is near.
Listen to her voice as beauty flows into your ear.
Sun is setting in the west, rue that she will leave soon.
Hope for the night to yield the clouds away and show the moon.
A. N. As I pointed out sometime ago, Gil-Estel was a Silmarillion, though I had never read it by the time I came up with the lord's name. For those Tolkien fans that may notice the coincidence I say: It was totally unintended, I had thought that the name was original.
