[00:08.98]	An Elven-maid there was of old,
[00:13.16]	A shining star by day:
[00:17.27]	Her mantle white was hemmed with gold,
[00:21.38]	Her shoes of silver-grey.
[00:25.62]	A star was bound upon her brows,
[00:29.86]	A light was on her hair
[00:34.14]	As sun upon the golden boughs
[00:38.37]	In Lórien the fair.
[00:42.67]	Her hair was long, her limbs were white,
[00:47.04]	And fair she was and free;
[00:51.06]	And in the wind she went as light
[00:55.24]	As leaf of linden-tree.
[00:59.68]	Beside the falls of Nimrodel,
[01:03.77]	By water clear and cool,
[01:07.85]	Her voice as falling silver fell
[01:12.04]	Into the shining pool.
[01:24.84]	Where now she wanders none can tell,
[01:29.54]	In sunlight or in shade;
[01:33.72]	For lost of yore was Nimrodel
[01:37.93]	And in the mountains strayed.
[01:50.84]	The elven-ship in haven grey
[01:55.18]	Beneath the mountain-lee
[01:59.30]	Awaited her for many a day
[02:03.38]	Beside the roaring sea.
[02:07.62]	A wind by night in Northern lands
[02:11.76]	Arose, and loud it cried,
[02:15.58]	And drove the ship from elven-strands
[02:19.60]	Across the streaming tide.
[02:23.69]	When dawn came dim the land was lost,
[02:27.63]	The mountains sinking grey
[02:31.51]	Beyond the heaving waves that tossed
[02:35.52]	Their plumes of blinding spray.
[02:47.94]	Amroth beheld the fading shore
[02:51.98]	Now low beyond the swell,
[02:55.86]	And cursed the faithless ship that bore
[02:59.83]	Him far from Nimrodel.
[03:03.81]	Of old he was an Elven-king,
[03:07.79]	A lord of tree and glen,
[03:11.89]	When golden were the boughs in spring
[03:16.07]	In fair Lothlórien.
[03:20.01]	From helm to sea they saw him leap,
[03:24.13]	As arrow from the string,
[03:27.91]	And dive into the water deep,
[03:31.91]	As mew upon the wing.
[03:35.60]	The wind was in his flowing hair,
[03:39.62]	The foam about him shone;
[03:43.64]	Afar they saw him strong and fair
[03:47.42]	Go riding like a swan.
[03:59.86]	But from the West has come no word,
[04:05.35]	And on the Hither Shore
[04:09.23]	No tidings Elven-folk have heard
[04:15.52]	Of Amroth evermore.
