Rivendell - The Song Of Eldamar lyrics
rate meI sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew:<br />
Of wind I sang, a wind there came and in the branches blew.<br />
Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon, the foam was on the Sea, <br />
And by the strand of Ilmarin there grew a golden Tree.<br />
<br />
Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone, <br />
In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion.<br />
There long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching years, <br />
While here beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears.<br />
<br />
O Lórien! The Winter comes, the bare and leafless Day; <br />
The leaves are falling in the stream, the River flows away.<br />
<br />
But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to me, <br />
What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?<br />
<br />
O Lórien! Too long I have dwelt upon this Hither Shore<br />
And in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor.</
