[Melian]

ok let me just flip through the book to see the words really quick

[Arwen]

While Melody prepares her song I will tell you the Tale of Tinuviel:

The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering.
Tinuviel was dancing there,
To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her raiment glimmering.

There Beren came from mountains cold,
And lost he wandered under leaves,
And where the Elven river rolled,
He walked alone and sorrowing.
He peered between the hemlock-leaves,
And saw in wonder flowers of gold,
Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
And her hair like shadow following.

Enchantment healed his weary feet,
That over hills were doomed to roam,
And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
Through woven woods in Elvenholme,
She lightly fled on dancing feet,
And left him lonely still to roam,
In the silent forest listening.

When winter passed she came again,
Her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark and falling rain,
And melting water bubbling,
He saw the Elven flowers spring,
about her feet and healed again,
He longed by her to dance and sing,
Upon the grass untroubling.

Again she fled but swift he came,
Tinuviel! Tinuviel!
He called her by her Elvish name,
And there she halted listening
One moment stood she and a spell
His voice laid on her, Beren came,
And doom fell on Tinuviel
That in his arms lay glistening.

As Beren loooked into her eyes,
Within the shadows of her hair,
The trembling starlight of the skies,
He saw there mirrored shimmering,
Tinuviel the Elven-fair,
Immortal maiden, Elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair,
And arms lay silver glimmering.

Long was the way that fate them bore,
O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
Through halls of iron and darkling door,
And woods of nightshade morrowless,
The Sundering Seas between them lay,
And yet at last they met once more,
And long ago they passed away,
In the forest singing sorrowless.

[Imrel]

*sniffs.* i remember that one, it's so beautiful...

[Arwen]

Yes, it's one of my favourites.

*Her eyes are bright with tears*

[Melian]

ok, this is one that i love:


Snow-white! Snow-white! O Lady clear!
 O Queen beyond the Western Sea's
O Light to us that wonder here
 Amid the world of woven trees!

Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!
 Clear are thy eyes and bright thy breath!
Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee
 In a far land beyond the Sea.

O stars that in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by her were sown,
In windy feilds now bright and clear
We see your silver blossom blown!

O Elbereth!  Gilthoniel!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees,
Thy starlight on the Western Seas.

[Imrel]

*applauds.*

[Arwen]

*Beautifully sung, Melody!
You have a voice like rippling waves.

[Melian]

bows*  thank you
