Lúthien's Lament

Oh great Mandos
 High among Valar
 I come to you in sorrow
 And with a broken heart
 Long has been my journey
 That led me to these halls
 But now I kneel before thee
 As grief my spirit calls
 I seek a man named Beren
 Whom I bid await me here
 I pledged that I would find him
 Before he leaves this sphere
 This man of whom I speak
 He gave his life for me
 But thence my soul grew weak
 And at last it too broke free
 So borne upon an urgent breeze
 I travelled to this place
 Where only one thing could appease
 The torment I now face
 Oh tell me I am not too late
 To see my love once more
 For that would be too cruel a fate
 I beg him be restored
 That we may take a little time
 To bid our last farewell
 And remember all we shared erstwhile
 Such joy no one could quell
 For never was a greater love
 Than that within our hearts
 Once born, forever binding us
 E'en though through death we part
 Once born, forever binding us
 E'en though through death we part
