Songs of Valinor
By Meir Brin

*********

Shall I Loose My Heart to Valinor?

Clouds of silver billowed sails
My young one flies from me
Upon the foam-tipped crested waves
That sunder I from thee.

What Is approaches Evening
Twilight rises under gentle hands
A drum is pounding discord
For all the Western Lands.

Leave me not, fair Silver Queen!
Flee not from darkness neath the stars
Forget not your kin of Doriath
Who never left for Valimar.

From me the light is straying
Beyond where I could hope to look.
Shall I loose my heart to Valinor?
Gold and silver it has took.
