the lay of nimrodel - adele mcallister lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
an elven*maid there was of old
a shining star by day
her mantle white was hemmed with gold
her shoes of silver*grey

[verse 2]
a star was bound upon her brows
a light was on her hair
as sun upon the golden boughs
in lórien the fair

[verse 3]
her hair was long, her limbs were white
and fair she was and free
and in the wind she went as light
as leaf of linden*tree

[verse 4]
beside the falls of nimrodel
by water clear and cool
her voice as falling silver fell
into the shining pool

[verse 5]
where now she wanders none can tell
in sunlight or in shade
for lost of yore was nimrodel
and in the mountains strayed
[verse 6]
the elven*ship in haven grey
beneath the mountain*lee
awaited her for many a day
beside the roaring sea

[verse 7]
a wind by night in northern lands
arose, and loud it cried
and drove the ship from elven*strands
across the streaming tide

[verse 8]
when dawn came dim, the land was lost
the mountains sinking grey
beyond the heaving waves that tossed
their plumes of blinding spray

[verse 9]
amroth beheld the fading shore
now low beyond the swell
and cursed the faithless ship that bore
him far from nimrodel

[verse 10]
of old he was an elven*king
a lord of tree and glen
when golden were the boughs in spring
in fair lothlórien
[verse 11]
from helm to sea they saw him leap
as arrow from the string
and dive into the water deep
as mew upon the wing

[verse 12]
the wind was in his flowing hair
the foam about him shone
afar they saw him strong and fair
go riding like a swan

[verse 13]
but from the west has come no word
and on the hither shore
no tidings elven*folk have heard
of amroth evermore
