”(Melian) spoke no word; but being filled with love Elwë came to her and took her hand, and straightway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood this while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark before they spoke any word.” -Of Thingol and Melian

T’was many years ago we fell in love
As by the counting of our feeble form
In glades of wheeling stars we learned there of
The twine of fate wound up in passions stormAmongst the trees was built our flowr’ing city
And flurried, I a veil to protect spun
You held me to this earth, deep and un-dizzy
Below the mountains, here beneath the sunBut now my anchor lost I stand alone,
In silence my thought like a mournful bird
My love, and purpose in this land is done
It echoes in the stone a final wordI depart, after having stayed so long
My notes are all played, I wish you well in Song
