/ Again she fled, but swift he came. \
| Tin'uviel! Tin'uviel! He called her |
| by her elvish name; And there she |
| halted listening. One moment stood she, |
| and a spell His voice laid on her: |
| Beren came And doom fell on Tin'uviel |
| That in his arms lay glistening. |
| |
| As Beren looked into her eyes Within |
| the shadows of her hair, The trembling |
| starlight of the skies He saw there |
| mirrored shimmering. Tin'uviel the |
| elven-fair, Immortal maiden elven-wise, |
| About him cast her shadowy hair And |
| arms like silver glimmering. |
| |
| Long was the way that fate them bore, |
| O'er stony mountains cold and grey, |
| Through halls of iron and darkling |
| door, And woods of nightshade |
| morrowless. The Sundering Seas between |
| them lay, And yet at last they met once |
| more, And long ago they passed away In |
| the forest singing sorrowless. |
