FAIR LOTHLÓRIEN		filemonger 6-14-2000

Oh, I wish I could have been
To fair Lothlórien:
Where the mallorn leaves turn gold
As the Elven-queen grows old.

As I wander Western states,
Aspen-trees in silver-plate
Remind me of mallorn trees --
Living riches in the breeze --
And I wish I could have been
To strong Lothlórien:
Where Frodo's Ring bears no fear,
And the trees grow riches dear.

Greenest grass on mountainside,
Forests thick where deer abide,
Bright sunset on deep, still lake:
But for these, my heart would break
As I wish I could have been
To old Lothlórien:
Beauty ageless doth live there --
'Tis Galadriel the fair.

Oh, I wish I could have been
To fair Lothlórien:
The lost land of Tolkien's dream
Where keen Elven eyes yet gleam.
