Arwen's Lament

A poem by Crystal

email: middle_earth_maddness@yahoo.ca

Time goes endless ever on,

And here I morn, dead is my song.

My joy in gone,

My love goes on.

And here I wander ever more,

Through silent woods troubled by war.

Time eats away at me,

And sorrow for my love, who forever gone will be.

My heart is torn,

I weep and morn.

Was I foolish long ago?

Should I have let him go?

All that was bright in this world has faded,

Into darkness it has waded.

The elves are gone,

As is their song.

And never will I see,

The golden land, that no longer waits for me.

And here I will waste away,

Through moonless night and sunless day.

Until at last I lie down to sleep,

Tired by the tears I weep.

And there I evermore will lie,

Till at last I finally die.

I will leave this cursed world behind,

And wonder in my lonely mind.
