Always to me my time has seemed too brief

by Merripestin

(3018)

Always to me my time has seemed too brief;

I go in haste toward the one who bears

the doom of men. In darkness falls the leaf,

autumn flies too fast, and war prepares.

(3019)

I ride in haste, to ward the one who bears

the fate of all. The dead ride at my heels.

Autumn now is flown, and war prepares

many hearts for that which time reveals.

(120)

The fate of all, now death is at my heels.

Always to me my time has seemed too brief.

Arwen, you are my heart, but time reveals

the doom of men: in darkness falls the leaf.
