[00:29.85]	The leaves were long, the grass was green,
[00:34.09]	The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
[00:38.45]	And in the glade a light was seen
[00:43.18]	Of stars in shadow shimmering.
[00:47.71]	Tinúviel was dancing there
[00:52.39]	To music of a pipe unseen,
[00:56.93]	And light of stars was in her hair,
[01:01.47]	And in her raiment glimmering.
[01:14.44]	There Beren came from mountains cold,
[01:18.77]	And lost he wandered under leaves,
[01:23.42]	And where the Elven-river rolled
[01:27.89]	He walked alone and sorrowing.
[01:32.46]	He peered between the hemlock-leaves
[01:37.03]	And saw in wander flowers of gold
[01:41.76]	Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
[01:46.33]	And her hair like shadow following.
[01:59.06]	Enchantment healed his weary feet
[02:03.82]	That over hills were doomed to roam;
[02:08.39]	And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
[02:12.68]	And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
[02:17.12]	Through woven woods in Elvenhome
[02:21.67]	She tightly fled on dancing feet,
[02:26.20]	And left him lonely still to roam
[02:30.83]	In the silent forest listening.
[02:45.86]	He heard there oft the flying sound
[02:49.72]	Of feet as light as linden-leaves,
[02:54.24]	Or music welling underground,
[02:58.77]	In hidden hollows quavering.
[03:02.95]	Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves,
[03:07.38]	And one by one with sighing sound
[03:12.01]	Whispering fell the beechen leaves
[03:16.62]	In the wintry woodland wavering.
[03:29.18]	He sought her ever, wandering far
[03:33.45]	Where leaves of years were thickly strewn,
[03:37.92]	By light of moon and ray of star
[03:42.35]	In frosty heavens shivering.
[03:46.63]	Her mantle glinted in the moon,
[03:51.15]	As on a hill-top high and far
[03:55.50]	She danced, and at her feet was strewn
[04:00.72]	A mist of silver quivering.
[04:22.93]	When winter passed, she came again,
[04:26.70]	And her song released the sudden spring,
[04:31.13]	Like rising lark, and falling rain,
[04:35.05]	And melting water bubbling.
[04:39.23]	He saw the elven-flowers spring
[04:43.65]	About her feet, and healed again
[04:48.11]	He longed by her to dance and sing
[04:52.84]	Upon the grass untroubling.
[05:07.46]	Again she fled, but swift he came.
[05:11.34]	Tinúviel! Tinúviel!
[05:16.07]	He called her by her elvish name;
[05:20.09]	And there she halted listening.
[05:24.59]	One moment stood she, and a spell
[05:29.06]	His voice laid on her: Beren came,
[05:33.68]	And doom fell on Tinúviel
[05:38.67]	That in his arms lay glistening.
[05:51.15]	As Beren looked into her eyes
[05:55.23]	Within the shadows of her hair,
[05:59.41]	The trembling starlight of the skies
[06:03.55]	He saw there mirrored shimmering.
[06:07.94]	Tinúviel the elven-fair,
[06:12.88]	Immortal maiden elven-wise,
[06:17.55]	About him cast her shadowy hair
[06:22.45]	And arms like silver glimmering.
[06:36.90]	Long was the way that fate them bore,
[06:41.07]	O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
[06:45.25]	Through halls of iron and darkling door,
[06:49.64]	And woods of nightshade morrowless.
[06:53.93]	The Sundering Seas between them lay,
[06:58.30]	And yet at last they met once more,
[07:02.98]	And long ago they passed away
[07:08.01]	In the forest singing sorrowless.
