Текст песни Of amroth and nimrodel (Caprice) с переводом

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 brow

A light was on her hair

As sun upon the golden bough

In Lórien the fair

Her hair was long, her limbs were 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 days

Beside the roaring sea

Amroth beheld the fading shore

Now low beyond the swell

And cursed the faithless ship that bore

Him far from Nimrodel

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 have ever heard

Of Amroth evermore
