Here's a sneak peak of the next LOTR fanfic chapter. This is a myth (I wrote) as a song that Uial sings in the chapter, which I'll get posted tomorrow. This is only part of it.
The light was faded, the dark was near
and the moonlight streamed through the trees.
The sliver stream that ran down to the Sea,
under the light of frosted stars I see.
It glowed shining like a freezing mist
it cast its dancing light around the snow
I breathed a breath of winter cold
and cast my cloak on white snow fold.
In this glade the river sang
and the starlit foam shifted and shone
I saw out far the silver vein ran long
By the water I lay, as the night prolonged.
I slept under starshine ice
but the stream, she spoke in a clear voice
The air was quiet, there was no noise
and she sang me to sleep, but she was poised.
For as I slept came an elven-king
he called out under watching stars
he was lost, for he had travelled far
Then he saw me, cold and pale as a star.
The stream's spell was of a holy sort,
but he did not know so and called out in fear
'I sense a witch of evil is here!'
and he bid himself to stay to me near.
'An elven-maid of yonder more!'
came his wondering reply.
'Why is she here, one with the night?'
then at noise he drew his blade to fight.
'She is of water sprite,'
whispered the singing stream
'Put down your sword!' she said, and down it went with a ring.
She bid him stand down, this elven-king.
'She is frozen dead!'
said the king, 'she is one with the frost,
and I fear her warm life is lost.'
But the stream bid him to stop.
'She is of death-child,'
she told him in perfect rhyme.
'She is not of your royal kind.
Her blood speaks of a lowly line.'
I was listening half in snow
as the king laid eyes upon me.
'You do run to the Sundering Sea?'
he asked of river reed.
With her singing reply,
the elven king asked of her a simple task.
'Then, as your voice as the mast,
Take her to the Havens, and fast.'
'And why do you request such a thing?'
the stream said,
but he gestured to me instead.
'She reminds me of my queen, who to death she bled.'
'In this very glade?
Nay, here life does not fade.
New life I have made.'
The stream came to where I laid.
'Yes, right hither did she die
many a year ago
amongst your broken floes
she bled upon your snow.'
'Then take her,'
came the stream's answer
and she made me stir,
without a cloak or coat of fur.
'Ai! Ai! Love of my world!'
cried my elven-king
joy in his voice did ring
as his cloak he laid about me.
'My elvish queen of lost life!'
he said to me
'Shall we leave for the Sea?'
To this I did joyfully agree.
