Daeron
***
I sang for you, so long,
So long...
I did love you, so long,
So long...
O Maiden, Beautiful One,
Fairest Child, my light and joy,
Every song for you, my love,
Every note I ever played
Was for your light, dancing feet
To move to; and bring you joy--
I wanted you to laugh and sing.
I have lost you now, my dear.
You are gone, beyond this world,
By a Second-Born stolen.
I can play until strings break,
Sing until my voice gives way
Beside these dark waters, yet
We shall never meet again.
I sing for you, so long,
So long...
I will love you, so long,
So
long…
