The White Tree by Mirach
Sleeping…
The lineage of old
Dreaming…
In embrace of soil
The seed in soil
The secret in heart
Hiding a tender
silver leaf curled
Hiding and waiting:
Through a Dark age
will rise a light:
Nimloth’s lineage
Sleeping…
The lineage of old
Dreaming…
In embrace of soil
The ancient lineage
of Elendil through
darkness will emerge
with the heart true
Broken sword renewed;
In field of stone
I wake to new life
Forgotten, lone
Sleeping…
The lineage of old
Dreaming…
In embrace of soil
I stretch to the Sun:
In the cold snow
its rays will give me
the strength to grow
Till the time comes:
“Yé! utúvienyes!”

Wow! This is excellent and would stand on its own merit even if English were your first language.
Extremely good! Was a well written poem that flowed nicely, exceptionally well for having to be translated! Loved it
