Son of Eöl,
What have you done?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
I have done none
Son of Eöl
Then why is there weeping?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
I know not
Son of Eöl
What is this bitterness?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
I know not
Son of Eöl
Why do you hold to dark?
Son of Ar-Feiniel,
Because the light is not mine to hold
Son of Eöl,
Who is this light?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
The daughter of Turgon
Son of Eöl,
Why is her light not yours to hold?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Because she loves me not
Son of Eöl
Why does she not love you?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Because she finds me irksome
Son of Eöl
Are you thus irksome
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Nay, I am not
Son of Eöl
Then why not does she love you?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
For 'tis her mind that is twisted and not mine
Son of Eöl
Is your mind twisted?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Nay, have I said
Son of Eöl,
Why then is she cold to you?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Her mind whispers treacherous lies
Son of Eöl
Then whither has she gone?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
She has gone with her beloved.
Son of Eöl,
Who then is her love?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
The Mortal son of Huor
Son of Eöl
She leaves you for a Man?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Yea she does, and thus cold I stand
Son of Eöl,
Why do you hate the world?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
For she hates me
Son of Eöl
Then why do you not speak of your love to her
Son of Ar-Feiniel
For she knows already
Son of Eöl
Have you a voice
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Yea, I do
Son of Eöl
Why then are silent
Son of Ar-Feiniel
For silence is my preserver
Son of Eöl
What will happen should you speak?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
My tongue would deceive me
Son of Eöl
What would your tongue deceive?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
What you may not know
Son of Eöl
What have you done?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
I have done none
Son of Eöl
Then why do you hide?
Son Ar-Feiniel
I hide what I hold inside
Son of Eöl
What is this on your hands?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
The blood of people and kin
Son of Eöl
What have you done?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
I have betrayed them
Son of Eöl
Whom have you betrayed?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Those who trusted me
Son of Eöl
But why did you do so?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
That I might have light to hold
Son of Eöl
You did it for Celebrindal?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Yea, I did
Son of Eöl
But why did you choose to betray
Son of Ar-Feiniel
For that was the only way
Son of Eöl
Have you no heart?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Nay, it is lost
Son of Eöl
Why did you do thus?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
So I might steal her light
Son of Eöl
Never could you have her.
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Be gone, your thoughts I want no more!
Son of Eöl
You are so cruel
Son of Ar-Feiniel
And so are you!
Son of Eöl
Why do you call me thus?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
Because we are the same
Son of Eöl
How are we the same?
Son of Ar-Feiniel
We are both ill-begotten Maeglin.
