Eloping from mist and cloud
Of a ruthless stony fort,
I fly back to that green glade,
Where time has frozen for me.
You gave your heart, for me to keep;
And took my soul away.
Aware of the fate, my warrior seeks,
My Elfish heart still beats for you.
Abandoned by tears, captivated by grief;
Hope dancing on my window sill.
I wait for you to return for me,
And relive that day for eternity.
Pity by sun and remorse by moon,
Winds blow with mocked sympathy.
I regret not my choice, knowing you’ll return,
For love is more powerful than anything.
