Текст песни Nimrodel
An Elven-maid there was of old,
A shining star by day:
Her mantle white was hemmed with gold,
Her shoes of silver-grey.
-- A star was bound upon her brows,
-- A light was on her hair
-- As sun upon the golden boughs
-- In Lorien the fair.
------Her hair was long, her limbs where white,
------And fair she was and free;
------And in the wind she went as light
------As leaf of linden-tree.
Beside the falls of Nimrodel,
By water clear and cool,
Her voice as falling silver fell
Into the shining pool.
-- Where now she wanders none can tell,
-- In sunlight or in shade;
-- For lost of yore was Nimrodel
-- And in the mountains strayed.
------The elven-ship in haven grey
------Beneath the mountain-lee
------Awaited her for many a day
------Beside the roaring sea.
A wind by night in Northern lands
Arose, and loud it cried,
And drove the ship from elven-strands
Across the streaming tide.
-- When dawn came dim the land was lost,
-- The mountains sinking grey
-- Beyond the heaving waves that tossed
-- Their plumes of blinding spray.
------Amroth beheld the fading shore
------Now low beyond the swell,
------And cursed the faithless ship that bore
------Him far from Nimrodel.
Of old he was an Elven-king,
A lord of tree and glen,
When golden were the boughs in spring
In fair Lothlorien.
-- From helm to sea they saw him leap,
-- As arrow from the string,
-- And dive into the water deep,
-- As mew upon the wing.
-- The wind was in his flowing hair,
-- The foam about him shone;
-- Afar they saw him strong and fair
-- Go riding like a swan.
------But from the West has come no word,
------And on the Hither Shore
------No tidings Elven-folk heard
------Of Amroth evermore.
