The White Ship | ||||||
Never a fairer ship was there than the one which sailed to Valinor on wings of white she flew away gone through the night to seek the day. Like a swan, all white and proud she was her prow as keen as an Elven-blade the sea-breeze all about her blew as she sailed away through mist and fog. Her white sails billowed and caught in the wind the spray leapt up as she clove the waves she was borne away on a western wind on a path which led to the Blessed Realm. Long she sailed, tall proud white ship through rain, through wind, through misty night never faltering, and never was daunted but always onwards swift she sailed. Sea-gulls far above her wheeled as through the curtain grey she passed at last she came to Valinor never a fairer ship was there. -Frodo Baggins |
