Elrond's Lament

I have no reason to linger here,
Now I must leave my Imladris dear,
For all my kin has already gone
And there is no star left to wish upon:
Fair Galadriel, Lady of Light,
Your passing will turn the bright day into night;
My little Undómiel, my sweet Evenstar,
Thou art now a mortal, thou art now so far.
And yet I feel mirth when I think of Valinor,
For Celebrian, my love, we shall be parted no more.
I plead my sweetheart for your forgiveness,
I spoke to Arwen but it was hopeless:
She loves Estel, Isildur’s heir
So she will not follow me there.
But now she is happy, and she is Gondor’s Queen,
Thou will be proud and so will our kin.
My fair Imladris, I am now leaving,
The sweet and the bitter I too am feeling.
Namarië Imladris, farewell Rivendell,
For never again here I shall dwell.
