Sayings of Stars (VII)



Thou and thy star,
That naught shall mar,
Bright thou makest from dim,
Beacon in the void, sidereal stream.

Thy radiance, source of life,
Thee we love, of the King the wife,
Clothed in holy white,
Thou, Empress of Light.

That Dwarf-lord



That choleric Dwarf-lord,
Rude speech, but commanding word,
Much he loves in his stone-halls to dine,
His army is a whole fortress, ordered in line.

Afar lies his throne, whence he departs to seek more,
Along hills, rich of ore,
'Iron-foot' they call him in tales, sung and fairly made,
Iron he bears indeed, by which his foes are slain, deadly fiery blade.

Whispering to the wind



May the swift wind carry my sorrow, to Elf, Dwarf and Man,
How fell all, I wonder? And when?
Woes to you, Sorcerer-king, who made ruins of the kingdom of mine,
Now naught shall ever be good nor fine,
The coming of ice to inglorious demise has led,
Recalled in terror and utmost dread,
The North is no more, but few wasted plains and dark,
So different from the original vision, so stark!
Old tower, crafted as shield, you guard silence, solitary and lone,
Scattered stone, remnants of might, of Westerners the forsaken bone.

Sayings of Stars (VIII)



Thou mayest us hearken to, high and low,
Atop the apex, inside paradise, whence light shall come and glow,
Never wilt thou forsake the fight,
Varda, magnificent prodigy, lest it be to bode ill for the Good's right.

Being late for meal



Nay, one shall never miss his meal,
Joy that fills and renews will,
Leaving the common road, for uncertain future,
Daring the evils of the world and nature.

Aye, listen to me, and may you give truce to ardent dreams,
Rewarded shall be the one who home sound deems,
Wasting no time in games, silly and mind-fizzing,
Wrong desires, which come and go, vanishing and hence whizzing.

Skies weep



After the clash, skies weep,
Over Arda's grief, wide and deep,
Malice, fashioned as fire fell and fiend,
Blue water, raging and wrathful, as tempestuous wind.

She faded, conquered by grief



Kind queen of holy sort, you had foretold the approaching tempest,
Greed took the love of your life, until ruin was brought into the realm, caught by conquest,
Fury defied reason, even among the ranks of light, for the Jewels were longed, ruthless and raw,
To the detriment of your deeds and just law,
The Sons of the Smith raided a one-time legendary treasure, bound to that horrible oath and their implacable grudge,
Bearer of ill and death, regardless of sham lies, spread to confound and the truth to fudge,
To the advantage of our foes, resting still behind, waiting for their preys to weaken each other, so that easily they may be trapped in the lair,
Willing to destroy the hopes of Elves and Men, to kill beauty and all that is fair,
The Angel-queen was not to linger and see the decay of her dream, undone the spell and burnt the leaf,
She faded, eventually, re-uniting with her king in the sorrowful halls of Mandos, conquered by grief.

Grave and graver



Grave and graver gets the hour,
The sun descends, lone and sour,
Clouds gather and menace rain,
Tale untold, speech spoken not fain.

People of the world, despair and grieve,
For shadows are near, and in darkness shall we live,
For too long have we the robes of peace worn,
Now it's time to go through nightmares and mourn.

The disgraceful age of ours, grey and dreary,
When all grows chill and weary,
Behold the advancing of twilight!
Ill-boding spectacle and unwelcome gift of foresight.

The black-haired Noldo came



Stronger than gale and tide,
Infuriating over the seas, dark and wide,
The Smith and his court divine harmony blast,
As fell fire, not sole nor last.

Unto the swan-harbour, we saw ghoulish ghosts loom,
Sign of crime and tragedy, an utter doom,
The black-haired Noldo came,
Seized the vessels, he left behind death and flame.

Sayings of Stars (IX)



There, two mighty Trees lay,
Within paradise, where the Powers all may,
Bright and ever-right,
None might dare such bliss fight.

If not for your nemesis, foul enemy,
My Queen, cursed and chained to misery,
Black Heart seeking hell,
Ever will the Elda stay true, and eternally we too shall.

Here we sing and dance



Joy in the Shire, lyrics are sung,
To which we dance, lively and young,
When the bell of fine guests rung,
Thus we are joined by friends, after light arose above and green nature sprung.

The hazard of travelling



Weary must be the ones who wander,
We believe and greatly ponder,
The road gets raw and rough,
Never has the passage been easy, always has it tough.

Beware, mind the journey to the East!
You shall tread hostile shires, lesser and least,
Unto the broad South, where new shadows rise,
Poisoning the peace and spreading phoney lies.

The curse



Yonder, past the valley,
Out of the walls of paradise, led by grudge and folly,
Chained to sorrow, pitying the fate of our craft-mastering race,
Our King demands revenge, chasing the Foe and daring his foul mace,
We saw not, that eerie wraith,
Along the coast, defying the raging sea and our prideful faith,
The uncanny spirit spoke a terrible curse,
Binding our future, fouler than death and even worse.

''Proud Noldo, seeking command, thou shalt suffer for staining the immaculate ways of Aman with innocent blood,
Of thy very immortal brethren, thus challenging the law of Light, in the vain attempt to halt of time the unstoppable flood.''

A NEW DAY HATH COME



Zitat
A new day hath come,
Be it welcomed with trumpet or drum,
On the vast Middle-earth, our wonder,
Far from the light dwelling yonder,
Whence the divine one assumed shape and flesh,
Thence love came and all made fresh,
Afar, we said, though mortal shires harbour too happiness,
Kept well in, amidst wilderness,
The brave shall head whither the foul hath seat,
To roam the unknown liberty and let loose his feet.
Much passed ere light was anew,
To render these marred ways lit and grow dew,
To water the green and its seed,
Where the just would wail and bleed,
Bright iron is to tread the continent, drawn by vengeance and by discord made feeble,
Still gallant, alas, to confront such evil,
Behold the sun rising, the new lamp of the West,
Raging in might and piercing the veil of night, so that the exiled Elda will not be of the world the unwanted guest,
Read, fellow soul, and hearken to the lay,
Wiser shalt thou be and know more to say.

HUSH, NOW!



Hush, now, hearken to me,
Canst thou find peace and glad be?
Listen to the jester singing and citing his fine-harmony words,
Which speak of splendid deeds, gracious maidens and despotic lords.

Merry, joyful and witty, thou wilt learn,
By means of the old goodwill,
Kindred to those conducting themselves right and stern,
Against ill odds and in the teeth of whom content may not feel.
