Twilight's crown

Luthlorien’s sacred ground

Trees’ twilight crowned  

Estel and Even star betroth

Hope clothed

The sword sheathed

Tolkien spoken:

“….A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be the blade that was Broken,

The crownless again shall be King.”[i]

Eldar and mortal wedding

After darkness vanquished

Love that cherished

Beyond the breaking

A winter dusting

Amidst the twilight’s crown

A shadow fades.
