| And in the glade a light was seen
|
| Of stars in shadows shimmering
|
| Immortal maiden elven-wise…
|
| Long was the way through iron halls
|
| And darkling doors
|
| And woods of nightshade morrowless
|
| Elven-wise dance for me Cold be hand and heart and bone
|
| And cold be my sleep under stone
|
| Never more I’ll wake on stony bed
|
| Never — 'til the Sun fails
|
| And the Moon is dead
|
| In the black wind the stars shall die
|
| And still on gold here let them lie
|
| 'Til the Dark Lord lifts His hand
|
| Over dead sea and withered land
|
| And I’ll fly away…
|
| Where I dwell no one can say
|
| For into darkness fell my star
|
| In Mordor, where the shadows are |
