Eternal Love?
What is Eternal?
What is Love?
It’s all pervasive, it comes from above.
It’s planted into the heart of every newborn Elven child
It’s to be cultivated, and not to grow wild.
Eternal is a heavy word
and if you’re a youth you will surely have heard
That his or her love for you is Eternal
Until you are married – and then it’s infernal.

Oh Ondolindë, Hill of Stone and Song
surrounded by th’ Encircling Mountains
Who bear the Name Echoriath
Hidden in the Cleft of the Rock.
Build in Secret over the life-age of a man.

Oh City in whose Walls dwelled Idril and Eärendil
Whose white walls were rising high in Alabaster glow
Shining like white Gold and Diamonds in the sun.
Whose Beautiful Gardens harboured Glingal and Belthil.
Growing Safely in the Shadows on the Hill

Oh that I might see thee,
in the Morning of an eternal Sunrise
See the Silver and the Gold,
on the Trees, who are a wonder to behold
Shining Brightly in the Sunlight

Evening has come, like a shadow over my Soul
Ever searching. Never finding
My Soul longeth for thee.
Gone art thou. No longer hidden
discovered you did fall.
