| Post subject: | The Lay of Evenstar |
First time with something this long, anyway here's a rough draft. How like the eve that lady fair who waits for he who fights for her Black tresses of hair an elven woman who loves a mortal man as Luthien loved Beren Fair as the stars thus evenstar her name Elessar holds her heart she will not sail away She will not go to Valinor the undying land across the sea she lingers in Middle-Earth in Imladris though Elrond Half-elven would have his daughter leave with him Elessar goes towards Mordor but there he shall not reach until the end when darkness falls and in Orodruin is the the ring In Imladris, still the Evenstar lingers refusing to sail away she stays there and waits there for her love "The darkness does not hold sway" Elessar fights and wins renown but with her his heart will remain though she is immortal and he is not she loves him all the same Now the time has come to make the choice and doubt is gone not given voice and she immoral elven and fair chose a mortal life for Isildur's heir She is lost to elven-kind but knows her heart and knows her mind they have been wed Elessar and Evenstar Sauron was thrown down the queen's kin leave and travel far For queen of Gondor is that elf so fair Who made the choice of Luthien and did not leave behind this world but left her people for a mortal man Joy now reigns in Middle-Earth a new ruler and a new age never shall she have to fear losing her love a king of men For when he departs from this world she shall not live forever but follow him beyond Mandos' halls as did Luthien her kin How like the eve is that lady fair who is joined now with he whose love kept her there |
