/ The leaves were long, the grass was \
| green, The hemlock-umbels tall and |
| fair, And in the glade a light was seen |
| Of stars in shadow shimmering. |
| Tin'uviel was dancing there To music |
| of a pipe unseen, And light of stars |
| was in her hair, And in her raiment |
| glimmering. |
| |
| There Beren came from mountains colds, |
| And lost he wandered under leaves, And |
| where the Elven-river rolled He walked |
| alone and sorrowing. He peered between |
| the hemlock-leaves And saw in wonder |
| flowers of gold Upon her mantle and her |
| sleeves, And her hair like shadow |
| following. |
| |
| Enchantment healed his weary feet That |
| over hills were doomed to roam; And |
| forth he hastened, strong and fleet, |
| And grasped at moonbeams glistening. |
| Through woven woods in Elvenhome She |
| lightly fled on dancing feet, And left |
| him lonely still to roam In the silent |
| forest listening. |
