Elrond
The Evenstar shone in Arda
A glitter of hope in the night
A spark in the midst of Shadow
Such a light drew eyes
That never would forget such a face
Arwen's light spread to all Arda
Should I have seen what lay ahead?
Daughter of my blood and son of my adoption
Was it proclaimed before Eä began?
Legend went before them
Should I have known to call him Beren
before the name Estel touched my tongue?
Though mist clouded foresight
Should I not have seen what was to come
Before the cry "Tinúviel" was heard again?
The Evenstar shines in Arda
Though I pass over the sea to a grey land
Undómiel has forsaken life for a death of love.
Her light will fail in a time to come
Why did I allow her to stay in such a place?
But how could I separate the Evenstar from her Hope?
When the life of the Eldar left her
The life of Elessar saved her
And strength held despite the weakness of his race.
The tears of a father are on my face
But the world still needs my beloved Evenstar
And she still needs the love of Estel.
Her heart no longer rests with me
Instead it is a willing captive of a king's hand
And though it kills her, she will not leave him.
The Evenstar shines in Arda
Though it dims with each passing year
I will accept her fate of death and life.
Soooooo... Whatcha think? This is one of my favorites...
