Namariaë

by Elfdaughter

Namariaë, a fond farewell,
Namariaë, a sad goodbye,
Namariaë, a ling'ring look,
Namariaë, a tearful eye.

Namariaë, my dear friend,
Namariaë, fare thee well!
Namariaë, your name remains,
But in Moria you fell.

Though thy heart is silent,
Thy soul lives on in me,
Thy memory lives in the wind,
Thy name sounds in the sea.

Namariaë, my dear friend,
Namariaë, fare thee well!
Namariaë, your name remains,
But in Moria you fell.

Ai, Mithrandir! Namariaë!
Parting is such sorrow,
Namariaë, the Elven call
Sounds in tree and hollow.

Namariaë, my dear friend,
Namariaë, fare thee well!
Namariaë, your name remains,
But in Moria you fell.

Fare thee well, my friend,
In shadow deep now you lie,
In darkened depths of Khâzad-dûm,
Did thy wisdom fall and die.

Namariaë, my dear friend,
Namariaë, fare thee well!
Namariaë, your name remains,
But in Moria you fell.
