Elrond's Lament for Celebrìan

Time is at a stand still,

the birds have ceased their song,

Yet flowers still bloom in the sadness,

That is rampant all around.

The singing is no longer jolly,

The smiles reach no eyes,

I know you await my calling,

But something holds me here.

The sea has yet to summon,

For here my people need me,

To lead against the madness,

And guard us from the dark.

We have seen it comming,

The darkness once again,

The Blade of the Witch King has found me,

And trouble will cling to its path.

But in this oncomming darkness,

I see a light, a hope,

For somewhere I know you are waiting,

Upon the golden sands.

I will find you,

For I promise,

That no one man can stop me,

Nor any army of evil or good.

Darling Celebrìan.
