MOON LETTERS : POETRY
Celebrian's Lament - By DaughterofLorien


So fair, so bright, my Evenstar,
My little Elven child,
I felt the world was right again,
Each time your fair lips smiled

For now my world is cold and dark,
Foul voices in my ears,
Across the Sea I soon shall pass,
To dwell past count of years

The Orcs, foul Orcs, they tortured me,
For many long, foul days
Until my sons came, bearing me,
Back under sun's bright rays

And so in time my wound was healed,
Thanks to my husband's art
But nevermore could I find rest,
Nor peace within my heart

But you, my little Evenstar,
Your future sings of bliss
I pray that you shall find that joy,
With nothing e'er amiss

And yet, I seem to sense a cloud,
Hanging o'er your sun
No love you'll find 'midst Elven kind,
But with a mortal one

And then the penalty of love,
Shall fall upon your head
Alas! After your lover dies,
You too will soon be dead

But do not fear that dreadful day,
For many, many years
He has not come, this mortal man,
For whom shall fall your tears

And rest assured that when you die,
No longer someone's wife,
Your lover's soul shall dwell with yours,
Forever after life
