The fading of Lorien--one of the saddest elements of Tolkien's saga, for me.

Another early Tolkien fan song.

Lorien...
Globe set deep with time and memory
Glimmering pale within the night
Sweet your sadness plays to me
I long for your warmth, seek your light
Lorien...

All ring true, like mithril beating
Yet they vanish, pulled by Time's winds
Into the wash of the sea with the sand's shifts}

Lorien...
Starry glade to catch the moon's nectar
Shimmering sweet against the skies
Who is strong to keep you ever?
I wander from where the dusking land lies
#
Pendant upon the breast of earth
Set upon a slipping wrought-chain
You fade without the golden queen-elf
Love borne for you bears its own pain
