	[ti:Song of Beren and Luthien]
[00:29]	The leaves were long, the grass was green,
[00:34]	The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
[00:38]	And in the glade a light was seen
[00:43]	Of stars in shadow shimmering.
[00:48]	Tinúviel was dancing there
[00:52]	To music of a pipe unseen,
[00:57]	And light of stars was in her hair,
[01:02]	And in her raiment glimmering.
[01:14]	There Beren came from mountains cold,
[01:19]	And lost he wandered under leaves,
[01:23]	And where the Elven-river rolled
[01:28]	He walked alone and sorrowing.
[01:32]	He peered between the hemlock-leaves
[01:37]	And saw in wander flowers of gold
[01:42]	Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
[01:46]	And her hair like shadow following.
[01:59]	Enchantment healed his weary feet
[02:03]	That over hills were doomed to roam;
[02:08]	And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
[02:12]	And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
[02:17]	Through woven woods in Elvenhome
[02:22]	She tightly fled on dancing feet,
[02:26]	And left him lonely still to roam
[02:30]	In the silent forest listening.
[02:46]	He heard there oft the flying sound
[02:50]	Of feet as light as linden-leaves,
[02:54]	Or music welling underground,
[02:59]	In hidden hollows quavering.
[03:03]	Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves,
[03:07]	And one by one with sighing sound
[03:12]	Whispering fell the beechen leaves
[03:16]	In the wintry woodland wavering.
[03:28]	He sought her ever, wandering far
[03:33]	Where leaves of years were thickly strewn,
[03:38]	By light of moon and ray of star
[03:42]	In frosty heavens shivering.
[03:47]	Her mantle glinted in the moon,
[03:51]	As on a hill-top high and far
[03:56]	She danced, and at her feet was strewn
[04:01]	A mist of silver quivering.
[04:23]	When winter passed, she came again,
[04:27]	And her song released the sudden spring
[04:32]	Like rising lark, and falling rain,
[04:35]	And melting water bubbling.
[04:40]	He saw the elven-flowers spring
[04:44]	About her feet, and healed again
[04:49]	He longed by her to dance and sing
[04:54]	Upon the grass untroubling.
[05:07]	Again she fled, but swift he came.
[05:12]	Tinúviel! Tinúviel!
[05:16]	He called her by her elvish name;
[05:21]	And there she halted listening.
[05:25]	One moment stood she, and a spell
[05:30]	His voice laid on her: Beren came,
[05:34]	And doom fell on Tinúviel
[05:39]	That in his arms lay glistening.
[05:51]	As Beren looked into her eyes
[05:56]	Within the shadows of her hair,
[06:00]	The trembling starlight of the skies
[06:04]	He saw there mirrored shimmering.
[06:09]	Tinúviel the elven-fair,
[06:14]	Immortal maiden elven-wise,
[06:19]	About him cast her shadowy hair
[06:24]	And arms like silver glimmering.
[06:38]	Long was the way that fate them bore,
[06:42]	O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
[06:46]	Through halls of iron and darkling door,
[06:51]	And woods of nightshade morrowless.
[06:55]	The Sundering Seas between them lay,
[07:00]	And yet at last they met once more,
[07:05]	And long ago they passed away
[07:10]	In the forest singing sorrowless.
