A simple song for Legolas... | ||||||||
Listen� Can you hear The Wind whispering Faintly and fair? Lifting leaves Like clear raindrops To dance with your hair As it sighs Over grasslands Rippling endlessly Threading swift The reeds hissing; It is calling to thee. Hearken now To the voices That whispering cry As they dance Unseen echoes That murmuring sigh Swift waters Of Anduin Heed the whispers and flee Commanding You follow them, Follow to the sea. Leave the trees Leave the woodlands And follow me now Forgetting The sighing of Blossom and bough. No more shall You wandering Seek the green canopy Tune your ears To the west wind; Listen for the sea. Can you hear The waves crashing On glimmering shores Far beyond Mortal havens Unsoiled by wars? In your blood Flows a yearning Long buried deeply The longing Now awakened Of Elves for the sea. Take a ship From the Havens, For darkness has passed, Releasing To the east wind The white sails at last As beyond Failing shadows Arises a star: The ensign Of the Valar And Elven-home far. As a swan Flies your vessel Born upon the foam, Its grey prow Cleaves a pathway Through waters unknown. The first dawn Brilliant rises Flashing gloriously As you enter The haven Beyond the Sundering Sea. -Elvellon Ringsbane |
