CamillasChoice | SINGING from the LOTR #3 - "Lórien the Fair" - J.R.R Tolkien poem set to music by CamillasChoice @CamillasChoice | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 35 minutes ago.
Welcome back my family, my wonderful people, my tribe!!!
If you've been on my channel before you probably know I have a special love for the poems that Tolkien wrote for LOTR and Hobbit. Many of them have never been set to music and in this series I do just that. The poems almost feel sacred so I hope I did this one justice. There is a playlist where I've put the other two poems, if you want more from the Tolkien world.
It was a long time since I posted a video here but I would like to let you know that I am quite active on Patreon; I'm currently working on not one, but TWO original albums and I share a lot of the recording processes over on Patreon, if you're interested.
I am so happy that I got this nature footage from my friend David, it suited this song so well, thank you David! You'll be surprised but it's not actually Lothlorien, it's Sweden. Hehe.

Many Big swedish hugs to you all!
Lyrics:
An Elven-maid there was of old,
A shining star by day:
Her mantle white was hemmed with gold,
Her shoes of silver-grey.
A star was bound upon her brows,
A light was on her hair
As sun upon the golden boughs
In Lórien the fair.
Her hair was long, her limbs were white,
And fair she was and free;
And in the wind she went as light
As leaf of linden-tree.
Beside the falls of Nimrodel,
By water clear and cool,
Her voice as falling silver fell
Into the shining pool.
Where now she wanders none can tell,
In sunlight or in shade;
For lost of yore was Nimrodel
And in the mountains strayed.
The elven-ship in haven grey
Beneath the mountain-lee
Awaited her for many a day
Beside the roaring sea.
A wind by night in Northern lands
Arose, and loud it cried,
And drove the ship from elven-strands
Across the streaming tide.
When dawn came dim the land was lost,
The mountains sinking grey
Beyond the heaving waves that tossed
Their plumes of blinding spray.
Amroth beheld the fading shore
Now low beyond the swell,
And cursed the faithless ship that bore
Him far from Nimrodel.
Of old he was an Elven-king,
A lord of tree and glen,
When golden were the boughs in spring
In fair Lothlórien.
From helm to sea they saw him leap,
As arrow from the string,
And dive into the water deep,
As mew upon the wing.
The wind was in his flowing hair,
The foam about him shone;
Afar they saw him strong and fair
Go riding like a swan.
But from the West has come no word,
And on the Hither Shore
No tidings Elven-folk have heard
Of Amroth evermore.
