== 개요 ==
'''Lay of Leithian'''

[[J.R.R. 톨킨]]이 쓴 시이다. [[가운데땅의 역사서]] 3권 <벨레리안드의 노래>에 실려있고, [[베렌과 루시엔]]에도 상당 부분이 실려있다.

== 상세 ==
가장 위대한 인간 영웅인 [[베렌]]과 [[일루바타르의 자손]] 중 가장 아름다운 [[루시엔 티누비엘]]의 사랑을 다룬 미완성 시로, [[요정(가운데땅)|요정]]들의 시 중 두 번째로 긴 것이라고 알려져 있다.[* 가장 긴 것은 [[후린의 아이들]]의 이야기를 다룬 시인 나른 이 힌 후린(Narn i Chîn Húrin)이다.] 4223행의 14개 칸토로 이루어져 있는데, 톨킨은 이 시를 완성하지 못했기에 시에서 다루는 내용은 [[베렌과 루시엔]] 이야기 중 베렌과 루시엔이 [[앙반드]]에서 [[실마릴]]을 탈취한 뒤 정문에서 [[카르카로스]]에게 습격 당하는 부분까지이다.

이름만 노래인 게 아니라 실제 각운을 맞춰 쓴 시이기 때문에 원문을 보면 두 행씩 짝지어 뒤의 운이 맞는 것을 볼 수 있다.

이름의 레이시안(Leithian)은 [[신다린]]으로 '구속으로부터의 해방(Release from Bondage)'이라는 뜻이다. 이는 요정들의 유일한 희망이자 목적인 [[실마릴]]을 사악한 [[모르고스]]의 왕관에서 해방한다는 의미를 포함하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 또한 실마릴을 해방한 것이 요정들의 용기와 명예, 분노, 복수심과 전쟁이 아닌, 베렌과 루시엔의 사랑이라는 점에서 사랑의 위대함을 역설함과 동시에 그들의 이야기가 [[레젠다리움]]에서 가장 중요한 부분이라는 점을 보여준다.

레이시안의 노래는 쓰여졌다 말았기 때문에 후기 설정이 반영되어 출판된 [[실마릴리온]]과는 약간의 차이점이 존재한다. 대표적으로 다음과 같은 차이점이 존재한다.

 * '''이름의 차이(레이시안의 노래 = 실마릴리온)'''
  * 다이론(Dairon) = [[다에론]](Daeron)
  * 펠라군드(Felagund) = [[핀로드]](Finrod)
  * 핀로드(Finrod) = [[피나르핀]](Finarfin)
  * 에그노르(Egnor) = [[아에그노르]](Aegnor)
  * 담로드와 디리엘(Damrod and Diriel) = [[암로드]]와 [[암라스]](Amrod and Amras)
  * 그노메(Gnome) = [[놀도르]](Noldor)
  * 수(Thû) = [[사우론]](Sauron)
  * 팀브렌팅(Timbrenting) = [[타니퀘틸]](Taniquetil)
  * 움보스무일린(Umboth-Muilin) = 아엘린우이알(Aelin-Uial)
  * 타우르나푸인(Taur-Na-Fuin) = [[도르소니온|타우르누푸인]](Taur-Nu-Fuin)
 * '''이야기의 차이'''
  * [[실마릴리온]]에서는 [[켈레고름]]이 [[루시엔 티누비엘]]에게 반해 강제로 결혼을 시도하려 하지만, 레이시안의 노래에서는 [[쿠루핀]]이 루시엔에게 반해 결혼하려는 것으로 나온다.

>'''his lances keen of steel were hewn,'''
>
>'''of silver grey his crown was wrought,'''
>
>'''the starlight in his banners caught ;'''
>
>'''and silver thrilled his trumpets long'''
>
>'''beneath the star in challenge strong;'''
>
>'''enchantment did his realm enfold,'''
>
>'''where might and glory, wealth untold,'''
>
>'''he wielded from his ivory throne'''
>
>'''in many pillared halls of stone.'''
>
>'''There beryl, pearl and opal pale,'''
>
>'''and metal wrought like fishes' mail,'''
>
>'''buckler and corslet, axe and sword,'''
>
>'''and gleaming spears were laid in hoard--'''
>
>'''all these he had and loved them less'''
>
>'''than a maiden once in Elfinesse;'''
>
>'''for fairer than are born to Men'''
>
>'''a daughter had he, Lúthien.'''
>
>'''Such lissom limbs no more shall run'''
>
>'''on the green earth beneath the sun;'''
>
>'''so fair a maid no more shall be'''
>
>'''from down to dusk, from sun to sea.'''
>
>'''Her robe was blue as summer skies,'''
>
>'''but grey as evening were her eyes;'''
>
>''''twas sewn with golden lilies fair,'''
>
>'''but dark as shadows was her hair.'''
>
>'''Her feet were light as bird on wing,'''
>
>'''her laughter lighter than the spring;'''
>
>'''the slender willow, the bowing reed,'''
>
>'''the fragance of a flowering mead,'''
>
>'''the light upon the leaves of trees,'''
>
>'''the voice of water more than these'''
>
>'''her beauty was and blissfulness,'''
>
>'''her glory and her loveliness;'''
>
>'''and her the king more dear did prize'''
>
>'''than hand or heart or light of eyes.'''
>
>'''They dwelt amid Beleriand,'''
>
>'''while Elfin power yet held the land,'''
>
>'''in the woven woods of Doriath:'''
>
>'''few ever thither found the path;'''
>
>'''few ever dared the forest-eaves'''
>
>'''to pass, or stir the listening leaves'''
>
>'''with tongue of hounds a-hunting fleet,'''
>
>'''with horse, or horn, or mortal feet.'''
>
>'''To North there lay the Land of Dread,'''
>
>'''whence only evil pathways led'''
>
>'''o'er hills of shadow bleak and cold'''
>
>'''or Taur-na-Fuin's haunted hold,'''
>
>'''where Deadly Nightshade lurked and lay'''
>
>'''and never came or moon or day;'''
>
>'''to South the wide earth unexplored;'''
>
>'''to West the ancient Ocean roared,'''
>
>'''unsailed and shoreless, wide and wild;'''
>
>'''to East in peaks of blue were piled'''
>
>'''in silence folded, mist-enfurled,'''
>
>'''the mountains of the Outer World,'''
>
>'''beyond the tangled woodland shade,'''
>
>'''thorn and thicket, grove and glade,'''
>
>'''whose brooding boughs with magic hung'''
>
>'''were ancient when the world was young.'''
>
>'''There Thingol in the Thousand Caves,'''
>
>'''whose portals pale that river laves'''
>
>'''Esgalduin that fairies call,'''
>
>'''in many a tall and torchlit hall'''
>
>'''a dark and hidden king did dwell,'''
>
>'''lord of the forest and the fell;'''
>
>'''and sharp his sword and high his helm,'''
>
>'''the king of beech and oak and elm.'''
>
>'''There Lúthien the lissom maid'''
>
>'''would dance in dell and grassy glade,'''
>
>'''and music merrily, thin and clear,'''
>
>'''went down the ways, more fair than ear'''
>
>'''of mortal Men at feast hath heard,'''
>
>'''and fairer than the song of bird.'''
>
>'''When leaves were long and grass was green'''
>
>'''then Dairon with his fingers lean,'''
>
>'''as daylight melted into shade,'''
>
>'''a wandering music sweetly made,'''
>
>'''enchanted fluting, warbling wild,'''
>
>'''for love of Thingol's elfin child.'''
>
>'''There bow was bent and shaft was sped,'''
>
>'''the fallow deer as phantoms fled,'''
>
>'''and horses proud with braided mane,'''
>
>'''with shining bit and silver rein,'''
>
>'''went fleeting by on moonlit night,'''
>
>'''as swallows arrow-swift in flight;'''
>
>'''a blowing and a sound of bells,'''
>
>'''a hidden hunt in hollow dells.'''
>
>'''There songs were made and things of gold,'''
>
>'''and silver cups and jewels untold,'''
>
>'''and the endless years of Faëry land'''
>
>'''rolled over far Beleriand,'''
>
>'''until a day beneath the sun,'''
>
>'''when many marvels were begun.'''

=== 칸토 II(Canto II) ===
>'''Far in the North neath hills of stone'''
>
>'''in caverns black there was a throne'''
>
>'''by fires illumined underground,'''
>
>'''that winds of ice with moaning sound'''
>
>'''made flare and flicker in dark smoke;'''
>
>'''the wavering bitter coils did choke'''
>
>'''the sunless airs of dungeons deep'''
>
>'''where evil things did crouch and creep.'''
>
>'''There sat a king: no Elfin race'''
>
>'''nor mortal blood, nor kindly grce'''
>
>'''of earth or heaven might he own,'''
>
>'''far older, stronger than the stone'''
>
>'''the world is built of, than the fire'''
>
>'''that burns within more fierce and dire;'''
>
>'''and thoughts profound were in his heart:'''
>
>'''a gloomy power that dwelt apart.'''
>
>'''Unconquerable spears of steel'''
>
>'''were at his nod. No ruth did feel'''
>
>'''the legions of his marshalled hate,'''
>
>'''on whom did wolf and raven wait;'''
>
>'''and black the ravens sat and cried'''
>
>'''upon their banners black, and wide'''
>
>'''was heard their hideous chanting dread'''
>
>'''above the reek and trampled dead.'''
>
>'''With fire and sword his ruin red'''
>
>'''on all that would not bow the head'''
>
>'''like lightning fell. The Northern land'''
>
>'''lay groaning neath his ghastly hand.'''
>
>'''But still there lived in hiding cold'''
>
>'''undaunted, Barahir the bold,'''
>
>'''of land bereaved, of lordship shorn,'''
>
>'''who once a prince of Men was born'''
>
>'''and now an outlaw lurked and lay'''
>
>'''in the hard heath and woodland grey,'''
>
>'''and with him clung of faithful men'''
>
>'''but Beren his son and other ten.'''
>
>'''Yet small as was their hunted band'''
>
>'''still fell and fearless was each hand,'''
>
>'''and strong deeds they wrought yet oft,'''
>
>'''and loved the woods, whose ways more soft'''
>
>'''them seemed than thralls of that black throne'''
>
>'''to live and languish in halls of stone.'''
>
>'''King Morgoth still pursued them sore'''
>
>'''with men and dogs, and wolf and boar'''
>
>'''with spells of madness filled he sent'''
>
>'''to slay them as in the woods they went;'''
>
>'''yet nought hurt them for many years,'''
>
>'''until, in brief to tell what tears'''
>
>'''have oft bewailed in ages gone,'''
>
>'''a deed unhappy; unaware'''
>
>'''their feet were caught in Morgoth's snare.'''
>
>
>'''Gorlim it was, who wearying'''
>어느 밤 [[고를림]]은
>'''of toil and flight and harrying,'''
>고생, 도주 및 불시 습격에 지쳐
>'''one night by chance did turn his feet'''
>계곡에 숨은 친구들 몰래 만나고자
>'''o'er the dark fields by stealth to meet'''
>불쑥 어두운 들판 위로 발길 돌리던 중
>'''with hidden friend within a dale,'''
>안개 낀 별들 아래
>'''and found a homestead looming pale'''
>창백하게 드러난 농가를 보았다.
>'''against the misty stars, all dark'''
>온통 어두운 가운데
>'''save one small window, whence a spark'''
>꺼질 듯 말 듯 촐랑이는 촛불 한 가닥
>'''of fitful candle strayed without.'''
>작은 창으로 삐져나왔다.
>'''Therein he peeped, and filled with dount'''
>언뜻 들여다보니,
>'''he saw, as in a dreaming deep'''
>염원이 잠든 가슴 기만하는 깊은 꿈속인 양,
>'''when longing cheats the heart in sleep,'''
>아내가 스러지는 불가에서 사라진 그를
>'''his wife beside a dying fire'''
>한탄하는데, [[고를림|그]]로선 제 눈을
>'''lament him lost; her thin attire'''
>믿을 수 없더라. 허름한 입성,
>'''and greying hair and paling cheek'''
>희끗해지는 머리칼, 핼쑥해지는 볼에서
>'''of tears and loneliness did speak.'''
>그녀의 눈물과 외로움 알았다.
>''''A! fair and gentle Eilinel,'''
>'오래전 [[앙반드|어둑한 지옥]]에 감금된 줄로만 알았던

>그대를 본 걸로 여겼거늘.'
>'''when all I lost that I held dear':'''
>그는 바깥 어둠 속에 아연히 바라보며
>'''thus thought his heavy heart amazed'''
>침울한 마음으로 이렇게 생각했다.
>'''outside in darkness as he gazed.'''
>허나, 감히 그녀 이름 부르거나
>'''But ere he dared to call her name,'''
>그녀가 탈출해 산지 밑 이 먼
>'''or ask how she escaped and came'''
>계곡까지 온 사연 묻기 전에
>'''to this far cale beneath the hills,'''
>산지 밑에서 웬 큰 소리 들렸더라!
>'''he heard a cry beneath the hills!'''
>사냥 올빼미 하나 가까이서
>'''There hooted near a hunting owl'''
>불길한 목소리로 부엉부엉 울었다.
>'''with boding voice. He heard the howl'''
>칙칙한 어둠 헤치며 [[고를림|그]]를 뒤밟아 쫓은

>'''and dogged his feet through shadows dim.'''
>[[모르고스]]의 추격이 가차 없이 따라붙음을
>'''Him unrelenting, well he knew,'''
>그는 익히 알고 있었다.
>'''the hunt of Morgoth did pursue.'''
>그들이 에일리넬마저 죽일까 봐
>'''Lest Eilinel with him they slay'''
>그는 한 마디 말 없이 발길 돌려
>'''without a word he turned away,'''
>한 마리 야생동물처럼
>'''and like a wild thing winding led'''
>이리저리 방향 바꾸며
>'''his devious ways o'er stony bed'''
>개울 돌바닥과 흔들리는 늪지 위로
>'''of stream, and over quaking fen,'''
>꾸불꾸불 길을 잡아 나가
>'''until far from the homes of men'''
>마침내 인가에서 멀리 떨어진
>'''he lay beside his fellows few'''
>어느 은밀한 곳에서 얼마 안 되는
>'''in a secret place; and darkness grew,'''
>동지들 곁에 누웠다.
>'''and waned, and still he watched unsleeping,'''
>어둠이 짙어지다 엷어지곤 했지만

=== 칸토 III(Canto III) ===
>'''There once, and long and long ago,'''
>
>'''before the sun and moon we know'''
>
>'''were lit to sail above the world,'''
>
>'''when first the shaggy woods unfurled,'''
>
>'''and shadowy shapes did stare and roam'''
>
>'''beneath the dark and starry dome'''
>
>'''that hung above the dawn of Earth,'''
>
>'''the silences with silver mirth'''
>
>'''were shaken; the rocks were ringing,'''
>
>'''the birds of Melian were singing,'''
>
>'''the first to sing in mortal lands,'''
>
>'''the nightingales with her own hands'''
>
>'''she fed, that fay of garments grey;'''
>
>'''beneath her silver girdle's seat'''
>
>'''and down unto her silver feet.'''
>
>'''She had wayward wandered on a time'''
>
>'''from gardens of the Gods, to climb'''
>
>'''the everlasting mountains free'''
>
>'''that look upon the outmost sea,'''
>
>'''and never wandered back, but stayed'''
>
>'''and softly sang from glade to glade.'''
>
>'''Her voice it was that Thingol heard,'''
>
>'''and sudden singing of a bird,'''
>
>'''in that old time when new-come Elves'''
>
>'''had all the wide world to themselves.'''
>
>'''Yet all his kin now marched away,'''
>
>'''as old tales tell, to seek the bay'''
>
>'''on the last shore of mortal lands,'''
>
>'''where mighty ships with magic hands'''
>
>'''they made, and sailed beyond the seas.'''
>
>'''The Gods them bade to lands of ease'''
>
>'''and gardens fair, where earth and sky'''
>
>'''together flow, and none shall die.'''
>
>'''But Thingol stayed, enchanted, still,'''
>
>'''one moment to hearken to the thrill'''
>
>'''of that sweet singing in the trees.'''
>
>'''Enchanted moments such as these'''
>
>'''from gardens of the Lord of Sleep,'''
>
>'''where fountains play and shadows creep,'''
>
>'''do come, and count as many years'''
>
>'''in mortal lands. With many tears'''
>
>'''his people seek him ere they sail,'''
>
>'''while Thingol listens in the dale.'''
>
>'''There after but an hour, him sees,'''
>
>'''he finds her where she lies and dreams,'''
>
>'''pale Melian with her dark hair'''
>
>'''upon a bed of leaves. Beware!'''
>
>'''There slumber and a sleep is twined!'''
>
>'''He touched her tresses and his mind'''
>
>'''was drowned in the forgetful deep,'''
>
>'''and dark the years rolled o'er his sleep.'''
>
>'''Thus Thingol sailed not on the seas'''
>
>'''but dwelt amid the land of trees,'''
>
>'''and Melian he loved, divine,'''
>
>'''whose voice was potent as the wine'''
>
>'''the Valar drink in golden halls'''
>
>'''where flower blooms and fountain falls;'''
>
>'''but when she sang it was a spell,'''
>
>'''and no flower stirred nor fountain fell.'''
>
>'''A king and queen thus lived they long,'''
>
>'''and Doriath was filled with song,'''
>
>'''and all the Elves that missed their way'''
>
>'''and never found the western bay,'''
>
>'''the gleaming walls of their long home'''
>
>'''by the grey seas and the white foam,'''
>
>'''who never trod the golden land'''
>
>'''where the towers of the Valar stand,'''
>
>'''all these were gathered in their realm'''
>
>'''beneath the beech and oak and elm.'''
>
>'''In later days when Morgoth first,'''
>
>'''fleeing the Gods, their bondage burst,'''
>
>'''and on the mortal lands set feet,'''
>
>'''and in the North his mighty seat'''
>
>'''founded and fortified, and all'''
>
>'''the newborn race of Men were thrall'''
>
>'''unto his power, and Elf and Gnome'''
>
>'''his slaves, or wandered without home,'''
>
>'''or scattered fastnesses walled with fear'''
>
>'''upraised upon his borders drear,'''
>
>'''and each one fell, yet reigned there still'''
>
>'''in Doriath beyond his will'''
>
>'''Thingol and deathless Melian,'''
>
>'''whose magic yet no evil can'''
>
>'''that cometh from without surpass.'''
>
>'''Here still was laughter and green grass,'''
>
>'''and leaves were lit with the white sun,'''
>
>'''and many marvels were begun.'''
>
>'''In sunshine and in sheen of moon,'''
>
>'''with silken robe and silver shoon,'''
>
>'''the daughter of the deathless queen'''
>
>'''now danced on the undying green,'''
>
>'''half elven-fair and half divine;'''
>
>'''and when the stars began to shine'''
>
>'''unseen but near a piping woke,'''
>
>'''and in the branches of an oak,'''
>
>'''or seated on the beech-leaves brown,'''
>
>'''Dairon the dark with ferny crown'''
>
>'''played with bewildering wizard's art'''
>
>'''music for breaking of the heart.'''
>
>'''Such players have there only been'''
>
>'''thrice in all Elfinesse, I ween:'''
>
>'''Tinfang Gelion who still the moon'''
>
>'''enchants on summer nights of June'''
>
>'''and kindles the pale firstling star;'''
>
>'''and he who harps upon the far'''
>
>'''forgotten beaches and dark shores'''
>
>'''where western foam for ever roars,'''
>
>'''Maglor whose voice is like the sea;'''
>
>'''and Dairon, mightiest of the three.'''
>
>'''Now it befell on summer night,'''
>
>'''upon a lawn where lingering light'''
>
>'''yet lay and faded faint and grey,'''
>
>'''that Lúthien danced while he did play.'''
>
>'''The chestnuts on the turf had shed'''
>
>'''their flowering candles, white and red;'''
>
>'''there darkling stood a silent elm'''
>
>'''and pale beneath its shadow-helm'''
>
>'''there glimmered faint the umbels thick'''
>
>'''of hemlocks like a mist, and quick'''
>
>'''the moths on pallid wings of white'''
>
>'''with tiny eyes of fiery light'''
>
>'''were fluttering softly, and the voles'''
>
>'''crept out to listen from their holes;'''
>
>'''the little owls were hushed and still;'''
>
>'''the moon was yet behind the hill.'''
>
>'''Her arms like ivory were gleaming,'''
>
>'''her long hair like a cloud was streaming,'''
>
>'''her feet atwinkle wandered roaming'''
>
>'''in misty mazes in the gloaming;'''
>
>'''and glowworms shimmered round her feet,'''
>
>'''and moths in moving garland fleet'''
>
>'''above her head went wavering wan -'''
>
>'''and this the moon now looked upon,'''
>
>'''uprisen slow, and round, and white'''
>
>'''above the branches of the night.'''
>
>'''Then clearly thrilled her voice and rang;'''
>
>'''with sudden ecstasy she sang'''
>
>'''a song of nightingales she learned'''
>
>'''and with her elvish magic turned'''
>
>'''to such bewildering delight'''
>
>'''the moon hung moveless in the night.'''
>
>'''And this it was that Beren heard,'''
>
>'''and this he saw, without a word,'''
>
>'''enchanted dumb, yet filled fire'''
>
>'''of such a wonder and desire'''
>
>'''that all his mortal mind was dim;'''
>
>'''her magic bound and fettered him,'''
>
>'''and faint he leaned against a tree.'''
>
>'''Forwandered, wayworn, gaunt was he,'''
>
>'''his body sick and heart gone cold,'''
>
>'''grey in his hair, his youth turned old;'''
>
>'''for those that tread that lonely way'''
>
>'''a price of woe and anguish pay.'''
>
>'''And now his heart was healed and slain'''
>
>'''with a new life and with new pain.'''
>
>'''He gazed, and as he gazed her hair'''
>
>'''within its cloudy web did snare'''
>
>'''the silver moonbeams sifting white'''
>
>'''between the leaves, and glinting bright'''
>
>'''teh tremulous starlight of the skies'''
>
>'''was caught and mirrored in her eyes.'''
>
>'''Then all his journey's lonely fare,'''
>
>'''the hunger and the haggard care,'''
>
>'''the awful mountains' stones he stained'''
>
>'''with blood of weary feet, and gained'''
>
>'''only a land of ghosts, and fear'''
>
>'''in dark ravines imprisoned sheer -'''
>
>'''there mighty spiders wove their webs,'''
>
>'''old creatures foul with birdlike nebs'''
>
>'''that span their traps in dizzy air,'''
>
>'''and filled it with clinging black despair,'''
>
>'''and there they lived, and the sucked bones'''
>
>'''lay white beneath on the dank stones -'''
>
>'''now all these horrors like a cloud'''
>
>'''faded from mind. The waters loud'''
>
>'''falling from pineclad heights no more'''
>
>'''he heard, those waters grey and frore'''
>
>'''that bittersweet he drank and filled'''
>
>'''his mind with madness - all was stilled.'''
>
>'''He recked not now the burning road,'''
>
>'''the paths demented where he strode'''
>
>'''endlessly...and ever new'''
>
>'''horizons stretched before his view,'''
>
>'''as each blue ridge with bleeding feet'''
>
>'''battle with creatures old and strong'''
>
>'''and monsters in the dark, and long,'''
>
>'''long watches in the haunted night'''
>
>'''while evil shapes with baleful light'''
>
>'''in clustered eyes did crawl and snuff'''
>
>'''beneath his tree - not half enough'''
>
>'''the price he deemed to come at last'''
>
>'''to that pale moon when day had passed,'''
>
>'''to those clear stars of Elfinesse,'''
>
>'''the hearts-ease and the loveliness.'''
>
>'''Lo! all forgetting he was drawn'''
>
>'''unheeding toward the glimmering lawn'''
>
>'''by love and wonder that compelled'''
>
>'''his feet from hiding; music welled'''
>
>'''within his heart, and songs unmade'''
>
>'''on themes unthought-of moved and swayed'''
>
>'''his soul with sweetness; out he came,'''
>
>'''a shadow in the moon's pale flame -'''
>
>'''and Dairon's flute as sudden stops'''
>
>'''as lark before it steeply drops,'''
>
>'''as grasshopper within the grass'''
>
>'''listening for heavy feet to pass.'''
>
>''''Flee, Lúthien!', and 'Lúthien!''''
>
>'''from hiding Dairon called again;'''
>
>''''A stranger walks the woods! Away!''''
>
>'''But Lúthien would wondering stay;'''
>
>'''fear had she never felt or known,'''
>
>'''till fear then seized her, all alone,'''
>
>'''seeing that shape with shagged hair'''
>
>'''and shadow long that halted there.'''
>
>'''Then sudden she vanished like a dream'''
>
>'''in dark oblivion, a gleam'''
>
>'''in hurrying clouds, for she had leapt'''
>
>'''among the hemlocks tall, and crept'''
>
>'''under a mighty plant with leaves'''
>
>'''all along and dark, whose stem in sheaves'''
>
>'''upheld an hundred umbels fair;'''
>
>'''and her white arms and shoulders bare'''
>
>'''her raiment pale, and in her hair'''
>
>'''the wild white roses glimmering there,'''
>
>'''all lay like spattered moonlight hoar'''
>
>'''in gleaming pools upon the floor.'''
>
>'''Then stared he wild in dumbness bound'''
>
>'''at silent trees, deserted ground;'''
>
>'''he blindly groped across the glade'''
>
>'''to the dark trees' encircling shade,'''
>
>'''and, while she watched with veiléd eyes,'''
>
>'''touched her soft arm in sweet surprise.'''
>
>'''Like startled moth from deathlike sleep'''
>
>'''in sunless nook or bushes deep'''
>
>'''she darted swift, and to and fro'''
>
>'''with cunning that elvish dancers know'''
>
>'''about the trunks of trees she twined'''
>
>'''a path fantastic. Far behind'''
>
>'''enchanted, wildered and forlorn'''
>
>'''Beren came blundering, bruised and torn:'''
>
>'''Esgalduin the elven-stream,'''
>
>'''in which amid tree-shadows gleam'''
>
>'''the stars, flowed strong before his feet.'''
>
>'''Some secret way she found, and fleet'''
>
>'''passed over and was seen no more,'''
>
>'''and left him forsaken on the shore.'''
>
>''''Darkly the sundering flood rolls past!'''
>
>'''To this my long way comes at last -'''
>
>'''a hunger and a loneliness,'''
>
>'''enchanted waters pitiless.''''
>
>'''A summer waned, an autumn glowed,'''
>
>'''and Beren in the woods abode,'''
>
>'''as wild and wary as a faun'''
>
>'''that sudden wakes at rustling dawn,'''
>
>'''and flits from shade to shade, and flees'''
>
>'''the brightness of the sun, yet sees'''
>
>'''all stealthy movements in the wood.'''
>
>'''The murmurous warmth in weathers good,'''
>
>'''the hum of many wings, the call'''
>
>'''of many a bird, the pattering fall'''
>
>'''of sudden rain upon the trees,'''
>
>'''the windy tide in leafy seas,'''
>
>'''the creaking of the boughs, he heard;'''
>
>'''but not the song of sweetest bird'''
>
>'''brought joy or comfort to his heart,'''
>
>'''a wanderer dumb who dwelt apart;'''
>
>'''who sought unceasing and in vain'''
>
>'''to hear and see those things again:'''
>
>'''a song more fair than nightingale,'''
>
>'''a wonder in the moonlight pale.'''
>
>'''An autumn waned, a winter laid'''
>
>'''the withered leaves in grove and glade;'''
>
>'''the beeches bare were gaunt and grey,'''
>
>'''and red their leaves beneath them lay.'''
>
>'''From cavern pale the moist moon eyes'''
>
>'''the white mists that from earth arise'''
>
>'''to hide the morrow's sun and drip'''
>
>'''all the grey day from each twig's tip.'''
>
>'''By dawn and dusk he seeks her still;'''
>
>'''by noon and night in valleys chill,'''
>
>'''nor hears a sound but the slow beat'''
>
>'''on sodden leaves of his own feet.'''
>
>'''The wind of winter winds his horn;'''
>
>'''the misty veil is rent and torn.'''
>
>'''The wind dies; the starry choirs'''
>
>'''leap in the silent sky to fires,'''
>
>'''whose light comes bitter-cold and sheer'''
>
>'''through domes of frozen crystal clear.'''
>
>'''A sparkle through the darkling trees,'''

>
>'''and there she dances all alone'''
>
>'''upon a treeless knoll of stone!'''
>
>'''Her mantle blue with jewels white'''
>
>'''caught all the rays of frosted light.'''
>
>'''She shone with cold and wintry flame,'''
>
>'''as dancing down the hill she came,'''
>
>'''and passed his watchful silent gaze,'''
>
>'''a glimmer as of stars ablaze.'''
>
>'''And snowdrops sprang beneath her feet,'''
>
>'''and one bird, sudden, late and sweet,'''
>
>'''shrilled as she wayward passed along.'''
>
>'''A frozen brook to bubbling song'''
>
>'''awoke and laughed; but Beren stood'''
>
>'''still bound enchanted in the wood.'''
>
>'''Her starlight faded and the night'''
>
>'''closed o'er the snowdrops glimmering white.'''
>
>'''Thereafter on a hillock green'''
>
>'''he saw far off the elven-sheen'''
>
>'''of shining limb and jewel bright'''
>
>'''often and oft on moonlit night;'''
>
>'''and Dairon's pipe woke once more,'''
>
>'''and soft she sang as once before.'''
>
>'''Then nigh he stole beneath the trees,'''
>
>'''and heartache mingled with hearts-ease.'''
>
>'''A night there was when winter died;'''
>
>'''then all alone she sang and cried'''
>
>'''and danced until the dawn of spring,'''
>
>'''and chanted some wild magic thing'''
>
>'''that stirred him, till it sudden broke'''
>
>'''the bonds that held him, and he woke'''
>
>'''to madness sweet and brave despair.'''
>
>'''He flung his arms to the night air,'''
>
>'''and out he danced unheeding, fleet,'''
>
>'''enchanted, with enchanted feet.'''
>
>'''He sped towards the hillock green,'''
>
>'''the lissom limbs, the dancing sheen;'''
>
>'''he leapt upon the grassy hill'''
>
>'''his arms with loveliness to fill:'''
>
>'''his arms were empty, and she fled;'''
>
>'''away, away her white feet sped.'''
>
>'''But as she went he swiftly came'''

>'''seeing within his darkened eyes'''
>
>'''the light that for no darkness dies,'''

>'''the loveliness that doth not fade,'''
>
>'''though all in ashes cold be laid.'''
>
>'''Then folded in the mists of sleep'''

>'''he sank into abysses deep,'''

>'''drowned in an overwhelming grief'''
>
>'''for parting after meeting brief;'''
>
>'''a shadow and a fragrance fair'''
>
>'''lingered, and waned, and was not there.'''

>'''Forsaken, barren, bare as stone,'''

>'''of living love and mortal pain.'''
>
>'''Beyond all hope her feet returned'''

>'''at eve, when in the sky there burned'''
>
>'''the flame of stars; and in her eyes'''

>
>'''of elvenflowers in elven-dell.'''
>
>'''Thus Lúthien, whom no pursuit,'''
>
>'''no snare, no dart that hunters shoot,'''
>
>'''might hope to win or hold, she came'''

>'''at the sweet calling of her name;'''
>
>'''and thus in his her slender hand'''
>
>'''was linked in far Beleriand;'''
>
>'''in hour enchanted long ago'''
>
>'''her arms about his neck did go,'''
>
>'''and gently down she drew to rest'''

>'''his weary head upon her breast.'''
>
>'''A! Lúthien, Tinúviel,'''

>'''until the stars were dimmed, and day'''

>
>'''It seemed a hush had fallen there'''

>'''in wonder, and to their king they spoke:'''
>
>''''This spell of silence who hath wrought?'''
>
>'''What web hath Dairon's music caught?'''
>
>'''It seems the very birds sing low;'''
>
>'''murmurless Esgalduin doth flow;'''

>'''the leaves scarce whisper on the trees,'''
>
>'''and soundless beat the wings of bees!''''
>
>'''This Lúthien heard, and there the queen'''

>'''her sudden glances saw unseen.'''
>
>'''But Thingol marvelled, and he sent'''
>
>'''for Dairon the piper, ere he went'''
>
>'''and sat upon his mounded seat -'''
>
>'''his grassy throne by the grey feet'''
>
>'''of the Queen of Beeches, Hirilorn,'''
>
>'''upon whose triple piers were borne,'''
>
>'''the mightiest vault of leaf and bough'''

>'''from world's beginning until now.'''
>
>'''She stood above Esgalduin's shore,'''

>'''where long slopes fell beside the door,'''

>'''the guarded gates, the portals stark'''

>'''of the Thousand echoing Caverns dark.'''
>
>'''There Thingol sat and heard no sound'''

>'''save far off footsteps on the ground;'''

>'''no flute, no voice, no song of bird,'''
>
>'''no choirs of windy leaves there stirred;'''
>
>'''and Dairon coming no word spoke,'''
>
>'''silent amid the woodland folk.'''
>
>'''Then Thingol said: 'O Dairon fair,'''

>
>'''O magic heart and wisdom wild,'''
>
>'''whose ear nor eye may be beguiled,'''
>
>'''what omen doth this silence bear?'''

>'''of his great onset may have come'''
>
>'''upon the Western winds, and dumb'''
>
>'''the woods now listen for a chase'''

>'''that here once more shall thundering race'''

>'''beneath the shade of mortal trees.'''
>
>'''Would it were so! The Lands of Ease'''
>
>'''hath Tavros left not many an age,'''
>
>'''since Morgoth evil wars did wage,'''
>
>'''since ruin fell upon the North'''
>
>'''and the Gnomes unhappy wandered forth.'''
>
>'''But if not he, who comes or what?''''
>
>'''And Dairon answered: 'He cometh not!'''
>
>'''No feet divine shall leave that shore,'''
>
>'''where the Shadowy Seas' last surges roar,'''
>
>'''till many things be come to pass,'''
>
>'''and many evils wrought. Alas!'''
>
>'''the guest is here. The woods are still,'''

>'''but wait not; for a marvel chill'''
>
>'''them holds at the strange deeds they see,'''
>
>'''but kings see not - though queens, maybe,'''
>
>'''may guess, and maidens, maybe, know.'''
>
>'''Where one went lonely two now go!''''
>
>''''Whither thy riddle points is plain''''
>
>'''the king in anger said, 'but deign'''
>
>'''to make it plainer! Who is he'''

>'''that earns my wrath? How walks he free'''
>
>'''within my woods amid my folk,'''
>
>'''a stranger to both beech and oak?''''
>
>'''But Dairon looked on Lúthien'''

>'''and would he had not spoken then,'''
>
>'''and no more would he speak that day,'''
>
>'''though Thingol's face with wrath was grey.'''
>
>'''Then Lúthien stepped lightly forth:'''
>
>''''Far in the mountain-leaguered North,'''
>
>'''my father,' said she, 'lies the land'''
>
>'''that groans beneath King Morgoth's hand.'''
>
>'''Thence came on hither, bent and worn'''
>
>'''in wars and travail, who had sworn'''
>
>'''undying hatred of that king;'''
>
>'''the last of Bëor's sons, they sing,'''
>
>'''and even hither far and deep'''
>
>'''within thy woods the echoes creep'''
>
>'''through the wild mountain-passes cold,'''
>
>'''the last of Bëor's house to hold'''
>
>'''a sword unconquered, neck unbowed,'''
>
>'''a heart by evil power uncowed.'''
>
>'''No evil needst thou think or fear'''
>
>'''of Beren son of Barahir!'''
>
>'''If aught thou hast to say to him,'''
>
>'''then swear to hurt not flesh nor limb,'''
>
>'''and I will lead him to thy hall,'''
>
>'''a son of kings, no mortal thrall.''''
>
>'''Then long King Thingol looked on her'''
>
>'''while hand nor foot nor tongue did stir,'''
>
>'''and Melian, silent, unamazed,'''
>
>'''on Lúthien and Thingol gazed.'''
>
>''''No blad nor chain his limbs shall mar''''
>
>'''the king then swore. 'He wanders far,'''
>
>'''and news, mayhap, he hath for me,'''
>
>'''and words I have for him, maybe!''''
>
>'''Now Thingol bade them all depart'''
>
>'''save Dairon, whom he called: 'What art,'''
>
>'''what wizardry of Northern mist'''
>
>'''hath this illcomer brought us? List!'''
>
>'''Tonight go thou by secret path,'''
>
>'''who knowest all wide Doriath,'''
>
>'''and watch that Lúthien - daughter mine,'''
>
>'''what madness doth thy heart entwine,'''
>
>'''what web from Morgoth's dreadfull halls'''
>
>'''hath caught thy feet and thee enthralls! -'''
>
>'''that she bid not this Beren flee'''
>
>'''back whence he came. I would him see!'''
>
>'''Take with thee woodland archers wise.'''
>
>'''Let naught beguile your hearts or eyes!''''
>
>'''Thus Dairon heavyhearted did,'''
>
>'''and the woods were filled with watchers hid;'''
>
>'''yet needless, for Lúthien that night'''
>
>'''led Beren by the golden light'''
>
>'''of mounting moon unto the shore'''
>
>'''and bridge before her father's door;'''
>
>'''and the white light silent looked within'''
>
>'''the waiting portals yawning dim.'''
>
>'''Downward with gentle hand she led'''
>
>'''through corridors of carven dread'''
>
>'''whose turns were lit by lanters hung'''
>
>'''or flames from torches that were flung'''
>
>'''on dragons hewn in the cold stone'''
>
>'''with jewelled eyes and teeth of bone.'''
>
>'''Then sudden, deep beneath the earth'''
>
>'''the silences with silver mirth'''
>
>'''were shaken and the rocks were ringing,'''
>
>'''the birds of Melian were singing;'''
>
>'''and wide the ways of shadow spread'''
>
>'''as into archéd halls she led'''
>
>'''Beren in wonder. There a light'''
>
>'''like day immortal and like night'''
>
>'''of stars unclouded, shone and gleamed.'''
>
>'''A vault of topless trees it seemed,'''
>
>'''whose trunks of carven stone there stood'''
>
>'''like towers of an enchanted wood'''
>
>'''in magic fast for ever bound,'''
>
>'''bearing a roof whose branches wound'''
>
>'''in endless tracery of green'''
>
>'''lit by some leaf-emprisoned sheen'''
>
>'''of moon and sun, and wrought of gems,'''
>
>'''and each leaf hung on golden stems.'''
>
>'''Lo! there amid immortal flowers'''
>
>'''the nightingales in shining bowers'''
>
>'''sang o'er the head of Melian,'''
>
>'''while water for ever dripped and ran'''
>
>'''from fountains in the rocky floor.'''
>
>'''There Thingol sat. His crown he wore'''
>
>'''of green and silver, and round his chair'''
>
>'''a host of gleaming armour fair.'''
>
>'''Then Beren looked upon the king'''
>
>'''and stood amazed; and swift a ring'''
>
>'''of elvish weapons hemmed him round.'''
>
>'''Then Beren looked upon the ground,'''
>
>'''for Melian's gaze had sought his face,'''
>
>'''and dazed there drooped he in that place,'''
>
>'''and when the king spake deep and slow:'''
>
>''''Who art thou stumblest hither? Know'''
>
>'''that none unbidden seek this throne'''
>
>'''and ever leave these halls of stone!''''
>
>'''But Lúthien answered in his stead:'''
>
>''''Behold, my father, one who came'''
>
>'''pursued by hatred like a flame!'''
>
>'''Lo! Beren son of Barahir!'''
>
>'''What need hath he thy wrath to fear,'''
>
>'''foe of our foes, without a friend,'''
>
>'''whose knees to Morgoth do not bend?''''
>
>''''Let Beren answer!' Thingol said.'''
>
>''''What wouldst thou here? What hither led'''
>
>'''thy wandering feet, O mortal wild?'''
>
>'''How hast thou Lúthien beguiled'''
>
>'''or darest thus to walk this wood'''
>
>'''unasked, in secret? Reason good'''
>
>''''twere best declare now if thou may,'''
>
>'''or never again see light of day!''''
>
>'''Then Beren looked in Lúthien's eyes'''
>
>'''and saw a light of starry skies,'''
>
>'''and thence was slowly drawn his gaze'''
>
>'''to Melian's face. As from a maze'''
>
>'''of wonder dumb he woke; his heart'''
>
>'''the bonds of awe there burst apart'''
>
>'''and filled with the fearless pride of old;'''
>
>'''in his glance now gleamed an anger cold.'''
>
>''''My feet hath fate, O king,' he said,'''
>
>''''here over the mountains bleeding led,'''
>
>'''and what I sought not I have found,'''
>
>'''and love it is hath here me bound.'''
>
>'''Thy dearest treasure I desire;'''
>
>'''nor rocks nor steel nor Morgoth's fire'''
>
>'''nor all the power of Elfinesse'''
>
>'''shall keep that gem I would possess.'''
>
>'''For fairer than are born to Men'''
>
>'''A daughter hast thou, Lúthien.''''
>
>'''Silence then fell upon the hall;'''
>
>'''like graven stone there stood they all,'''
>
>'''save one who cast her eyes aground,'''
>
>'''and one who laughed with bitter sound.'''
>
>'''Dairon the piper leant there pale'''
>
>'''against a pillar. His fingers frail'''
>
>'''there touched a flute that whispered not;'''
>
>'''his eyes were dark; his heart was hot.'''
>
>''''Death is the guerdon thou hast earned,'''
>
>'''O baseborn mortal, who hast learned'''
>
>'''in Morgoth's realm to spy and lurk'''
>
>'''like Orcs that do his evil work!''''
>
>''''Death!' echoed Dairon fierce and low,'''
>
>'''but Lúthien trembling gasped in woe.'''
>
>''''And death,' said Thingol, 'thou shouldst taste,'''
>
>'''had I not sworn an oath in haste'''
>
>'''that blade nor chain thy flesh should mar.'''
>
>'''Yet captive bound by never a bar,'''
>
>'''unchained, unfettered, shalt thou be'''
>
>'''in lightless labyrinth endlessly'''
>
>'''that coils about my halls profound'''
>
>'''by magic bewildered and enwound;'''
>
>'''there wandering in hopelessness'''
>
>'''thou shalt learn the power of Elfinesse!''''
>
>''''That may not be!' Lo! Beren spake,'''
>
>'''and through the king's words coldly brake.'''
>
>''''What are thy mazes but a chain'''
>
>'''wherein the captive blind is slain?'''
>
>'''Twist not thy oaths, O elvish king,'''
>
>'''like faithless Morgoth! By this ring -'''
>
>'''the token of a lasting bond'''
>
>'''that Felagund of Nargothrond'''
>
>'''once swore in love to Barahir,'''
>
>'''who sheltered him with shield and spear'''
>
>'''and saved him from pursuing foe'''
>
>'''on Northern battlefields long ago -'''
>
>'''death thou canst give unearned to me,'''
>
>'''but names I will not take from thee'''
>
>'''of baseborn, spy, or Morgoth's thrall!'''
>
>'''Are these the ways of Thingol's hall?''''
>
>'''Proud are the words, and all there turned'''
>
>'''to see the jewels green that burned'''
>
>'''in Beren's ring. These Gnomes had set'''
>
>'''as eyes of serpents twined that met'''
>
>'''beneath a golden crown of flowers,'''
>
>'''that one upholds and one devours:'''
>
>'''the badge that Finrod made of yore'''
>
>'''and Felagund his son now bore.'''
>
>'''His anger was chilled, but little less,'''
>
>'''and dark thoughts Thingol did possess,'''
>
>'''though Melian the pale leant to his side'''
>
>'''and whispered: 'O king, forgo thy pride!'''
>
>'''Such is my counsel. Not by thee'''
>
>'''shall Beren be slain, for far and free'''
>
>'''from these deep halls his fate doth lead,'''
>
>'''yet wound with thine. O king, take heed!''''
>
>'''But Thingol looked on Lúthien.'''
>
>''''Fairest of Elves! Unhappy Men,'''
>
>'''children of little lords and kings'''
>
>'''mortal and frail, these fadings things,'''
>
>'''shall they then look with love on thee?''''
>
>'''his heart within him thought. 'I see'''
>
>'''thy ring,' he said, 'O mighty man!'''
>
>'''But to win the child of Melian'''
>
>'''a father's deeds shall not avail,'''
>
>'''nor thy proud words at which I quail.'''
>
>'''A treasure dear I too desire,'''
>
>'''but rocks and steel and Morgoth's fire'''
>
>'''from all the powers of Elfinesse'''
>
>'''do keep the jewel I would possess.'''
>
>'''Yet bonds like these I hear thee say'''
>
>'''affright thee not. Now go thy way!'''

>'''Bring me one shining Silmaril'''

>
>'''Then Thingol's warriors loud and long'''

>'''had Fëanor's gems o'er land and sea,'''
>
>'''the peerless Silmarils; and three'''
>
>'''alone he made and kindled slow'''
>
>'''in the land of the Valar long ago,'''
>
>'''and there in Tûn of their own light'''
>
>'''they shone like marvellous stars at night,'''
>
>'''in the great Gnomish hoards of Tûn,'''
>
>'''while Glingal flowered and Belthil's bloom'''
>
>'''yet lit the land beyond the shore'''
>
>'''where the Shadowy Seas' last surges roar,'''

>
>'''in Morgoth's dungeons vast and drear.'''
>
>'''His iron crown they must adorn,'''
>
>'''and gleam above Orcs and slaves forlorn,'''
>
>'''treasured in Hell above all wealth,'''
>
>'''more than his eyes; and might nor stealth'''

>'''could touch them, or even gaze too long'''
>
>'''upon their magic. Throng on throng'''

>'''of Orcs with reddened scimitars'''
>
>'''encircled him, and mighty bars'''
>
>'''and everlasting gates and walls,'''
>
>'''who wore them now amidst his thralls.'''
>
>'''Then Beren laughed more loud than they'''
>
>'''in bitterness, and thus did say:'''
>
>''''For little price do elven-kings'''
>
>'''their daughters sell - for gems and rings'''
>
>'''and things of gold! If such thy will,'''
>
>'''thy bidding I will now fulfill.'''
>
>'''On Beren son of Barahir'''

>'''a flower that grows beneath the sky.''''
>
>'''Bowing before Melian and the king'''
>
>'''he turned, and thrust aside the ring'''

>'''of guards about him, and was gone,'''
>
>'''and his footsteps faded one by one'''

>'''in the dark corridors. 'A guileful oath'''
>
>'''thou sworest, father! Thou hast both'''
>
>'''to blade and chain his flesh now doomed'''
>
>'''in Morgoth's dungeons deep entombed,''''
>
>'''said Lúthien, and welling tears'''
>
>'''sprang in her eyes, and hideous fears'''
>
>'''clutched at her heart. All looked away,'''
>
>'''and later remembered the sad day'''
>
>'''whereafter Lúthien no more sang.'''
>
>'''Then clear in the silence the cold words rang'''
>
>'''of Melian: 'Counsel cunning-wise,'''

>''''I sell not to Men those whom I love''''

>'''But Melian smiled, and there was pain'''

>''''O mother Melian, tell to me'''
>
>'''some part of what thy dark eyes see!'''
>
>'''Tell of thy magic where his feet'''
>
>'''are wandering! What foes him meet?'''
>
>'''O mother, tell me, lives he still'''
>
>'''treading the desert and the hill?'''
>
>'''Do sun and moon above him shine,'''
>
>'''do the rains fall on him, mother mine?''''
>
>''''Nay, Lúthien my child, I fear'''
>
>'''he lives indeed in bondage drear.'''
>
>'''The Lord of Wolves hath prisons dark,'''
>
>'''chains and enchantments cruel and stark,'''
>
>'''there trapped and bound and languishing'''

>'''now Beren dreams that thou dost sing.''''

>'''and dare the dread in dungeons dim;'''

>'''for none there be that will him aid'''
>
>'''in all the world, save elven-maid'''
>
>'''whose only skill were joy and song,'''
>
>'''and both have failed and left her long.''''
>
>'''Then nought said Melian thereto,'''
>
>'''though wild the words. She wept anew,'''
>
>'''and ran through the woods like hunted deer'''
>
>'''with her hair streaming and eyes of fear.'''
>
>'''Dairon she found with ferny crown'''
>
>'''silently sitting on beech-leaves brown.'''
>
>'''On the earth she cast her at his side.'''
>
>''''O Dairon, Dairon, my tears,' she cried,'''
>
>''''now pity for our old days' sake!'''
>
>'''Make me a music for heart's ache,'''
>
>'''for heart's despair, and for heart's dread,'''
>
>'''for light gone dark and laughter dead!''''
>
>''''But for music dead there is no note,''''
>
>'''Dairon answered, and at his throat'''
>
>'''his fingers clutched. Yet his pipe he took,'''
>
>'''and sadly trembling the music shook;'''
>
>'''and all things stayed while that piping went'''
>
>'''wailing in the hollows, and there intent'''
>
>'''they listened, their business and mirth,'''
>
>'''their hearts' gladness and the light of earth'''
>
>'''forgotten; and bird-voices failed'''
>
>'''while Dairon's flute in Doriath wailed.'''
>
>'''Lúthien wept not for very pain,'''
>
>'''and when he ceased she spoke again:'''
>
>''''My friend, I have a need of friends,'''
>
>'''as he who a long dark journey wends,'''
>
>'''and fears the road, yet dare not turn'''
>
>'''and look back where the candles burn'''
>
>'''in windows he has left. The night'''
>
>'''in front, he doubts to find the light'''
>
>'''that far beyond the hills he seeks.''''
>
>'''And thus of Melian's words she speaks,'''
>
>'''and of her doom and her desire'''
>
>'''to climb the mountains, and the fire'''
>
>'''and ruin of the Northern realm'''
>
>'''to dare, a maiden without helm'''
>
>'''or sword, or strength of hardy limb,'''
>
>'''where magic founders and grows dim.'''
>
>'''His aid she sought to guide her forth'''
>
>'''and find the pathways to the North,'''
>
>'''if he would not for love of her'''
>
>'''go by her side a wanderer.'''
>
>''''Wherefore,' said he, 'should Dairon go'''
>
>'''into direst peril earth doth know'''
>
>'''for the sake of mortal who did steal'''
>
>'''his laughter and joy? No love I feel'''
>
>'''for Beren son of Barahir,'''
>
>'''nor weep for him in dungeons drear,'''
>
>'''who in this wood have chains enow,'''
>
>'''heavy and dark. But thee, I vow,'''
>
>'''I will defend from perils fell'''
>
>'''and deadly wandering into hell.''''
>
>'''No more they spake that day, and she'''
>
>'''perceived not his meaning. Sorrowfully'''
>
>'''she thanked him, and she left him there.'''
>
>'''A tree she climbed, till the bright air'''
>
>'''above the woods her dark hair blew,'''
>
>'''and straining afar her eyes could view'''
>
>'''the outline grey and faint and low'''
>
>'''of dizzy towers where the clouds go,'''
>
>'''the southern faces mounting sheer'''
>
>'''in rocky pinnacle and pier'''
>
>'''of Shadowy Mountains pale and cold;'''
>
>'''and wide the lands before them rolled.'''
>
>'''But straightway Dairon sought the king'''
>
>'''and told him his daughter's pondering'''
>
>'''and how her madness might her lead'''
>
>'''to ruin, unless the king gave heed.'''
>
>'''Thingol was wroth, and yet amazed;'''
>
>'''in wonder and half fear he gazed'''
>
>'''on Dairon, and said: 'True hast thou been.'''
>
>'''Now ever shall love be us between,'''
>
>'''while Doriath lasts; within this realm'''
>
>'''thou art a prince of beech and elm!''''
>
>'''He sent for Lúthien, and said:'''
>
>''''O maiden fair, what hath thee led'''
>
>'''to ponder madness and despair'''
>
>'''to wander to ruin, and to fare'''
>
>'''from Doriath against my will,'''
>
>'''stealing like a wild thing men would kill'''
>
>'''into the emptiness outside?''''
>
>''''The wisdom, father,' she replied;'''
>
>'''nor would she promise to forget,'''
>
>'''nor would she vow for love or threat'''
>
>'''her folly to forsake and meek'''
>
>'''in Doriath her father's will to seek.'''
>
>'''This only vowed she, if go she must,'''
>
>'''that none but herself would she now trust,'''
>
>'''no folk of her father's would persuade,'''
>
>'''to break his will or lend her aid;'''
>
>'''if go she must, she would go alone'''
>
>'''and friendless dare the walls of stone.'''
>
>'''In angry love and half in fear'''
>
>'''Thingol took counsel his most dear'''
>
>'''to guard and keep. He would not bind'''
>
>'''in caverns deep and intertwined'''
>
>'''sweet Lúthien, his lovely maid,'''
>
>'''who robbed of air must wane and fade,'''
>
>'''who ever must look upon the sky'''
>
>'''and see the sun and moon go by.'''
>
>'''But close unto his mounded seat'''
>
>'''and grassy throne there ran the feet'''
>
>'''of Hirilorn, the beechen queen.'''
>
>'''Upon her triple boles were seen'''
>
>'''no break or branch, until aloft'''
>
>'''in a green glimmer, distant, soft,'''
>
>'''the mightiest vault of leaf and bough'''
>
>'''from world's beginning until now'''
>
>'''was flung above Esgalduin's shores'''
>
>'''and the long slopes to Thingol's doors.'''
>
>'''Grey was the rind of pillars tall'''
>
>'''and silken-smooth, and far and small'''
>
>'''to squirrels' eyes were those who went'''
>
>'''at her grey feet upon the bent.'''
>
>'''Now Thingol made men in the beech,'''
>
>'''in that great tree, as far as reach'''
>
>'''their longest ladders, there to build'''
>
>'''an airy house; and as he willed'''
>
>'''a little dwelling of fair wood'''
>
>'''was made, and veiled in leaves it stood'''
>
>'''above the first branches. Corners three'''
>
>'''it had and windows faint to see,'''
>
>'''and by three shafts of Hirilorn'''
>
>'''in the corners standing was upborne.'''
>
>'''There Lúthien was bidden dwell,'''
>
>'''until she was wiser and the spell'''
>
>'''of madness left her. Up she clomb'''
>
>'''the long ladders to her new home'''
>
>'''among the leaves, among the birds;'''
>
>'''she sang no song, she spoke no words.'''
>
>'''White glimmering in the tree she rose,'''
>
>'''and her little door they heard her close.'''
>
>'''The ladders were taken and no more'''
>
>'''her feet might tread Esgalduin's shore.'''
>
>'''Thither at whiles they climbed and brought'''
>
>'''all things she needed or besought;'''
>
>'''but death was his, whoso should dare'''
>
>'''a ladder leave, or creeping there'''
>
>'''should set one by the tree at night;'''
>
>'''a guard was held from dusk to light'''
>
>'''about the grey feet of Hirilorn'''
>
>'''and Lúthien in prison and forlorn.'''
>
>'''There Dairon grieving often stood'''
>
>'''in sorrow for the captive of the wood,'''
>
>'''and melodies made upon his flute'''
>
>'''leaning against a grey tree-root.'''
>
>'''Lúthien would from her windows stare'''
>
>'''and see him far under piping there,'''
>
>'''and she forgave his betraying word'''
>
>'''for the music and the grief she heard,'''
>
>'''and only Dairon would she let'''
>
>'''across her threshold foot to set.'''
>
>'''Yet long the hours when she must sit'''
>
>'''and see the sunbeams dance and flit'''
>
>'''in beechen leaves, or watch the stars'''
>
>'''peep on clear nights between the bars'''
>
>'''of beechen branches. And one night'''
>
>'''just ere the changing of the light'''
>
>'''a dream there came, from the Gods, maybe,'''
>
>'''or Melian's magic. She dreamed that she'''
>
>'''heard Beren's voice o'er hill and fell'''
>
>''''Tinúviel' call, 'Tinúviel.''''
>
>'''And her heart answered: 'Let me be gone'''
>
>'''to seek him no others think upon!''''
>
>'''She woke and saw the moonlight pale'''
>
>'''through the slim leaves. It trembled frail'''
>
>'''upon her arms, as these she spread'''
>
>'''and there in longing bowed her head,'''
>
>'''and yearned for freedom and escape.'''
>
>'''Now Lúthien doth her counsel shape;'''
>
>'''and Melian's daughter of deep lore'''
>
>'''knew many things, yea, magics more'''
>
>'''than then or now know elven-maids'''
>
>'''that glint and shimmer in the glades.'''
>
>'''She pondered long, while the moon sank'''
>
>'''and faded, and the starlight shrank,'''
>
>'''and the dawn opened. At last a smile'''
>
>'''on her face flickered. She mused a while,'''
>
>'''and watched the morning sunlight grow,'''
>
>'''then called to those that walked below.'''
>
>'''And when one climbed to her she prayed'''
>
>'''that he would in the dark pools wade'''
>
>'''of cold Esgalduin, water clear,'''
>
>'''the clearest water cold and sheer'''
>
>'''to draw for her. 'At middle night,''''
>
>'''she said, 'in bowl of silver white'''
>
>'''it must be drawn and brought to me'''
>
>'''with no word spoken, silently.''''
>
>'''Another she begged to bring her wine'''
>
>'''in a jar of gold where flowers twine -'''
>
>''''and singing let him come to me'''
>
>'''at high noon, singing merrily.''''
>
>'''Again she spake: 'Now go, I pray,'''
>
>'''to Melian the queen, and say:'''
>
>'''"thy daughter many a weary hour'''
>
>'''slow passing watches in her bower;'''
>
>'''a spinning-wheel she begs thee send."''''
>
>'''Then Dairon she called: 'I prithee, friend,'''
>
>'''climb up and talk to Lúthien!''''
>
>'''And sitting at her window then,'''
>
>'''she said: 'My Dairon, thou hast craft,'''
>
>'''beside thy music, many a shaft'''
>
>'''and many a tool of carven wood'''
>
>'''to fashion with cunning. It were good,'''
>
>'''if thou wouldst make a little loom'''
>
>'''to stand in the corner of my room.'''
>
>'''My idle fingers would spin and weave'''
>
>'''a pattern of colours, of morn and eve,'''
>
>'''of sun and moon and changing light'''
>
>'''amid the beech-leaves waving bright.''''
>
>'''This Dairon did and asked her then:'''
>
>''''O Lúthien, O Lúthien,'''
>
>'''What wilt thou weave? What wilt thou spin?''''
>
>''''A marvellous thread, and wind therein'''
>
>'''a potent magic, and a spell'''
>
>'''I will weave within my web that hell'''
>
>'''nor all the powers of Dread shall break.''''
>
>'''Then Dairon wondered, but he spake'''
>
>'''no word to Thingol, though his heart'''
>
>'''feared the dark purpose of her art.'''
>
>'''And Lúthien was left alone.'''
>
>'''A magic song to Men unknown'''
>
>'''she sang, and singing then the wine'''
>
>'''with water mingled three times nine;'''
>
>'''and as in golden jar they lay'''
>
>'''she sang a song of growth and day;'''
>
>'''and as they lay in silver white'''
>
>'''another song she sang, of night'''
>
>'''and darkness without end, of height'''
>
>'''uplifted to the stars, and flight'''
>
>'''and freedom. And all names of things'''
>
>'''tallest and longest on earth she sings:'''
>
>'''the locks of the Longbeard dwarves; the tail'''
>
>'''of Draugluin the werewolf pale;'''
>
>'''the body of Glómund the great snake;'''
>
>'''the vast upsoaring peaks that quake'''
>
>'''above the fires in Angband's gloom;'''
>
>'''the chain Angainor that ere Doom'''
>
>'''of steel and torment. Names she sought,'''
>
>'''and sang of Glend the sword of Nan;'''
>
>'''of Gilim the giant of Eruman;'''
>
>'''and last and longest named she then'''
>
>'''the endless hair of Uinen,'''
>
>'''the Lady of the Sea, that lies'''
>
>'''through all the waters under skies.'''
>
>'''Then did she lave her head and sing'''
>
>'''a theme of sleep and slumbering,'''
>
>'''profound and fathomless and dark'''
>
>'''as Lúthien's shadowy hair was dark -'''
>
>'''each thread was more slender and more fine'''
>
>'''than threads of twilight that entwine'''
>
>'''in filmy web the fading grass'''
>
>'''and closing flowers as day doth pass.'''
>
>'''Now long and longer grew her hair,'''
>
>'''and fell to her feet, and wandered there'''
>
>'''like pools of shadow on the ground.'''
>
>'''Then Lúthien in a slumber drowned'''
>
>'''was laid upon her bed and slept,'''
>
>'''till morning through the windows crept'''
>
>'''thinly and faint. And then she woke,'''
>
>'''and the room was filled as with a smoke'''
>
>'''and with an evening mist, and deep'''
>
>'''she lay thereunder drowsed in sleep.'''
>
>'''Behold! her hair from windows blew'''
>
>'''in morning airs, and darkly grew'''
>
>'''waving about the pillars grey'''
>
>'''of Hirilorn at break of day.'''
>
>'''Then groping she found her little shears,'''
>
>'''and cut the hair about her ears,'''
>
>'''and close she cropped it to her head,'''
>
>'''enchanted tresses, thread by thread.'''
>
>'''Thereafter grew they slow once more,'''
>
>'''yet darker than their wont before.'''
>
>'''And now was her labour but begun:'''
>
>'''long was she spinning, long she spun;'''
>
>'''and though with elvish skill she wrought,'''
>
>'''long was her weaving. If men sought'''
>
>'''to call her, crying from below,'''
>
>''''Nothing I need,' she answered, 'go!'''
>
>'''I would keep my bed, and only sleep'''
>
>'''I now desire, who waking weep.''''
>
>'''Then Dairon feared, and in amaze'''
>
>'''he called from under; but three days'''
>
>'''she answered not. Of cloudy hair'''
>
>'''she wove a web like misty air'''
>
>'''of moonless night, and thereof made'''
>
>'''a robe as fluttering-dark as shade'''
>
>'''beneath great trees, a magic dress'''
>
>'''that all was drenched with drowsiness,'''
>
>'''enchanted with a mightier spell'''
>
>'''than Melian's raiment in that dell'''
>
>'''wherein of yore did Thingol roam'''
>
>'''beneath the dark and starry dome'''
>
>'''that hung above the dawning world.'''
>
>'''And now this robe she round her furled,'''
>
>'''and veiled her garments shimmering white;'''
>
>'''her mantle blue with jewels bright'''
>
>'''like crystal stars, the lilies gold,'''
>
>'''were wrapped and hid; and down there rolled'''
>
>'''dim dreams and faint oblivious sleep'''
>
>'''falling about her, to softly creep'''
>
>'''through all the air. Then swift she takes'''
>
>'''the threads unused; of these she makes'''
>
>'''a slender rope of twisted strands'''
>
>'''yet long and stout, and with her hands'''
>
>'''she makes it fast unto the shaft'''
>
>'''of Hirilorn. Now, all her craft'''
>
>'''and labour ended, looks she forth'''
>
>'''from her little window facing North.'''
>
>'''Already the sunlight in the trees'''
>
>'''is drooping red, and dusk she sees'''
>
>'''come softly along the ground below,'''
>
>'''and now she murmurs soft and slow.'''
>
>'''Now chanting clearer down she cast'''
>
>'''her long hair, till it reached at last'''
>
>'''from her window to the darkling ground.'''
>
>'''Men far beneath her heard the sound;'''
>
>'''but the slumbrous strand now swung and swayed'''
>
>'''above her guards. Their talking stayed,'''
>
>'''they listened to her voice and fell'''
>
>'''suddenly beneath a binding spell.'''
>
>'''Now clad as in a cloud she hung;'''
>
>'''now down her ropéd hair she swung'''
>
>'''as light as squirrel, and away,'''
>
>'''away, she danced, and who could say'''
>
>'''what paths she took, whose elvish feet'''
>
>'''no impress made a-dancing fleet?'''

>'''madly northward they now raced'''

>'''the path twixt Doriath to find'''
>
>'''and the shadows dreadly dark entwined'''

>'''of Taur-na-Fuin. That was their road'''
>
>'''most swift to where their kin abode'''
>
>'''in the east, where Himling's watchful hill'''
>
>'''o'er Aglon's gorge hung tall and still.'''
>
>'''They saw the wanderers. With a shout'''

>
>'''as if neath maddened hooves to rend'''

>
>'''But as they came the horses swerved'''
>
>'''with nostrils wide and proud necks curved;'''
>
>'''Curufin, stooping, to saddlebow'''
>
>'''with mighty arm did Lúthien throw,'''
>
>'''and laughed. Too soon; for there a spring'''
>
>'''fiercer than tawny lion-king'''
>
>'''maddened with arrows barbéd smart,'''
>
>'''greater than any hornéd hart'''
>
>'''that hounded to a gulf leaps o'er,'''
>
>'''there Beren gave, and with a roar'''
>
>'''leaped on Curufin; round his neck'''
>
>'''his arms entwined, and all to wreck'''
>
>'''both horse and rider fell to ground;'''
>
>'''and there they fought without a sound.'''
>
>'''Dazed in the grass did Lúthien lie'''
>
>'''beneath bare branches and the sky;'''
>
>'''the Gnome felt Beren's fingers grim'''
>
>'''close on his throat and strangle him,'''
>
>'''and out his eyes did start, and tongue'''
>
>'''gasping from his mouth there hung.'''
>
>'''Up rode Celegorn with his spear,'''
>
>'''and bitter death was Beren near.'''
>
>'''With elvish steel he nigh was slain'''
>
>'''whom Lúthien won from hopeless chain,'''
>
>'''but baying Huan sudden sprang'''
>
>'''before his master's face with fang'''
>
>'''white-gleaming, and with bristling hair,'''
>
>'''as if he on boar or wolf did stare.'''
>
>'''The horse in terror leaped aside,'''
>
>'''and Celegorm in anger cried:'''
>
>''''Curse thee, thou baseborn dog, to dare'''
>
>'''against thy master teeth to bare!''''
>
>'''But dog nor horse nor rider bold'''
>
>'''would venture near the anger cold'''
>
>'''of mighty Huan fierce at bay.'''
>
>'''Red were his jaws. They shrank away,'''
>
>'''and fearful eyed him from afar:'''
>
>'''nor sword nor knife, nor scimitar,'''
>
>'''no dart of bow, nor cast of spear,'''
>
>'''master nor man did Huan fear.'''
>
>'''There Curufin had left his life,'''
>
>'''had Lúthien not stayed that strife.'''
>
>'''Waking she rose and softly cried'''
>
>'''standing distressed at Beren's side:'''
>
>''''Forbear thy anger now, my lord!'''
>
>'''nor do the work of Orcs abhorred;'''
>
>'''for foes there be of Elfinesse'''
>
>'''unnumbered, and they grow not less,'''
>
>'''while here we war by ancient curse'''
>
>'''distraught, and all the world to worse'''
>
>'''decays and crumbles. Make thy peace!''''
>
>'''Then Beren did Curufin release;'''
>
>'''but took his horse and coat of mail,'''
>
>'''and took his knife there gleaming pale,'''
>
>'''hanging sheathless, wrought of steel.'''
>
>'''No flesh could leeches ever heal'''
>
>'''that point had pierced; for long ago'''
>
>'''the dwarves had made it, singing slow'''
>
>'''enchantments, where their hammers fell'''
>
>'''in Nogrod ringing like a bell.'''
>
>'''Iron as tender wood it cleft,'''
>
>'''and sundered mail like woollen weft.'''
>
>'''But other hands its haft now held;'''
>
>'''its master lay by mortal felled.'''
>
>'''Beren uplifting him, far him flung,'''
>
>'''and cried 'Begone!', with stinging tongue;'''
>
>''''Begone! thou renegade and fool,'''
>
>'''and let thy lust in exile cool!'''
>
>'''Arise and go, and no more work'''
>
>'''like Morgoth's slaves or curséd Orc;'''
>
>'''and deal, proud son of Fëanor,'''
>
>'''in deeds more proud than heretofore!''''
>
>'''Then Beren led Lúthien away,'''
>
>'''while Huan still there stood at bay.'''
>
>''''Farewell,' cried Celegorm the fair.'''
>
>''''Far get you gone! And better were'''

>'''to die forhungered in the waste'''

>'''than wrath of Fëanor's sons to taste,'''
>
>'''that yet may reach o'er dale and hill.'''
>
>'''No gem, nor maid, nor Silmaril'''
>
>'''shall ever long in thy grasp lie!'''
>
>'''We curse thee under cloud and sky,'''
>
>'''we curse thee from rising unto sleep!'''
>
>'''Farewell!' He swift from horse did leap,'''
>
>'''his brother lifted from the ground;'''
>
>'''then bow of yew with gold wire bound'''
>
>'''he strung, and shaft he shooting sent,'''
>
>'''as heedless hand in hand they went;'''
>
>'''a dwarvish dart and cruelly hooked.'''
>
>'''They never turned nor backward looked.'''
>
>'''Loud bayed Huan, and leaping caught'''
>
>'''the speeding arrow. Quick as thought'''
>
>'''another followed deadly singing;'''
>
>'''but Beren had turned, and sudden springing'''
>
>'''defended Lúthien with his breast.'''
>
>'''Deep sank the dart in flesh to rest.'''
>
>'''He fell to earth. They rode away,'''
>
>'''and laughing left him as he lay;'''
>
>'''yet spurred like wind in fear and dread'''
>
>'''of Huan's pursuing anger red.'''
>
>'''Though Curufin with bruised mouth laughed,'''
>
>'''yet later of that dastard shaft'''
>
>'''was tale and rumour in the North,'''
>
>'''and Men remembered at the Marching Forth,'''
>
>'''and Morgoth's will its hatred helped.'''
>
>'''Thereafter never hound was whelped'''
>
>'''would follow horn of Celegorm'''
>
>'''or Curufin. Though in strife and storm,'''
>
>'''though all their house in ruin red'''
>
>'''went down, thereafter laid his head'''
>
>'''Huan no more at that lord's feet,'''
>
>'''but followed Lúthien, brave and fleet.'''
>
>'''of Beren, and sought to stem the tide'''
>
>'''of welling blood that flowed there fast.'''
>
>'''The raiment from his breast she cast;'''
>
>'''from shoulder plucked the arrow keen;'''
>
>'''his wound with tears she washed it clean.'''
>
>'''Then Huan came and bore a leaf,'''

>'''of all the herbs of healing chief,'''
>
>'''that evergreen in woodland glade'''
>
>'''there grew with broad and hoary blade.'''

>'''The powers of all grasses Huan knew,'''

>'''the staunching song, that Elvish wives'''
>
>'''long years had sung in those sad lives'''
>
>'''of war and weapons, wove o'er him.'''
>
>'''The shadows fell from mountains grim.'''
>
>'''Then sprang about the darkened North'''
>
>'''the Sickle of the Gods, and forth'''
>
>'''each star there stared in stony night'''
>
>'''radiant, glistering cold and white.'''
>
>'''But on the ground there is a glow,'''
>
>'''a spark of red that leaps below:'''
>
>'''under woven boughs beside a fire'''
>
>'''there crackling wood and sputtering briar'''
>
>'''there Beren lies in drowsing deep,'''
>
>'''walking and wandering in sleep.'''
>
>'''Watchful bending o'er him wakes'''
>
>'''a maiden fair; his thirst he slakes,'''
>
>'''his brow caresses, and softly croons'''
>
>'''a song more potent than in runes'''
>
>'''or leeches' lore hath since been writ.'''
>
>'''Slowly the nightly watches flit.'''
>
>'''The misty morning crawleth grey'''
>
>'''from dusk to the reluctant day.'''
>
>'''Then Beren woke and opened eyes,'''
>
>'''and rose and cried: 'Neath other skies,'''
>
>'''in lands more awful and unknown,'''
>
>'''I wandered long, methought, alone'''
>
>'''to the deep shadow where the dead dwell;'''
>
>'''but ever a voice that I knew well,'''
>
>'''like bells, like viols, like harps, like birds,'''
>
>'''like music moving without words,'''
>
>'''called me, called me through the night,'''
>
>'''enchanted drew me back to light!'''
>
>'''Healed the wound, assuaged the pain!'''
>
>'''Now are we come to morn again,'''
>
>'''new journeys once more lead us on -'''
>
>'''to perils whence may life be won,'''
>
>'''hardly for Beren; and for thee'''
>
>'''a waiting in the wood I see,'''
>
>'''beneath the trees of Doriath,'''

=== 칸토 XI(Canto XI) ===

>
>'''He looked on her, her lifted face'''
>
>'''beneath his lips in sweet embrace:'''
>
>''''Thrice now mine oath I curse,' he said,'''

>'''But where is Huan, where the hound'''

>'''from deadly wandering unto hell?''''
>
>''''I know not! But good Huan's heart'''

>'''is wiser, kinder than thou art,'''
>
>'''grim lord, more open unto prayer!'''
>
>'''Yet long and long I pleaded there,'''
>
>'''until he brought me, as I would'''
>
>'''upon thy trail - a palfrey good'''
>
>'''would Huan make, of flowing pace:'''
>
>'''thou wouldst have laughed to see us race,'''
>
>'''as Orc on werewolf ride like fire'''
>
>'''ngiht after night through fen and mire,'''
>
>'''through waste and wood! But when I heard'''
>
>'''thy singing clear - (yea, every word'''
>
>'''of Lúthien one rashly cried,'''
>
>'''and listening evil fierce defied) -,'''
>
>'''he set me down, and sped away;'''
>
>'''but what he would I cannot say.''''
>
>'''Ere long they knew, for Huan came,'''
>
>'''his great breath panting, eyes like flame,'''
>
>'''in fear lest her whom he forsook'''
>
>'''to aid some hunting evil took'''
>
>'''ere he was nigh. Now there he laid'''

>'''before their feet, as dark as shade,'''
>
>'''two grisly shapes that he had won'''
>
>'''from that tall isle in Sirion:'''
>
>'''a wolfhame huge - its savage fell'''
>
>'''was long and matted, dark the spell'''
>
>'''that drenched the dreadful coat and skin,'''
>
>'''the werefwolf cloak of Draugluin;'''
>
>'''the other was a batlike garb'''
>
>'''with mighty fingered wings, a barb'''
>
>'''like iron nail at each joint's end -'''
>
>'''such wings as their dark cloud extend'''

>'''against the moon, when in the sky'''

>'''Hopeless the quest, but not yet mad,'''

>''''Lo! good was Felagund's device,'''

>'''and swift hideous change will make'''

>'''with ghostly clawlike wings of hell.'''

>''''To such dark straits, alas! now brought'''

>'''Nor further with you can I go -'''

>'''and Balog captains marched before.'''
>
>'''They stirred, and under cloud and shade'''

=== 칸토 XII(Canto XII) ===
>'''In that vast shadow once of yore'''

>'''Fingolfin stood: his shield he bore'''
>
>'''with field of heaven's blue and star'''
>
>'''of crystal shining pale afar.'''
>
>'''In overmastering wrath and hate'''
>
>'''despate he smote upon that gate,'''
>
>'''the Gnomish king, there standing lone,'''
>
>'''while endless fortresses of stone'''
>
>'''engulfed the thin clear ringing keen'''
>
>'''of silver horn on baldric green.'''
>
>'''His hopeless challenge dauntless cried'''

>'''Fingolfin there: 'Come, open wide,'''

>'''dark king, your ghastly brazen doors!'''

>'''Come forth, whom earth and heaven abhors!'''

>'''Come forth, O monstrous craven lord,'''

>'''thou foe of Gods and elvish race!'''
>
>'''I wait thee here. Come! Show thy face!''''

>'''from subterranean throne profound,'''
>
>'''the rumour of his feet a sound'''
>
>'''of rumbling earthquake underground.'''
>
>'''Black-armoured, towering, iron-crowned'''
>
>'''he issued forth; his mighty shield'''
>
>'''a vast unblazoned sable field'''
>
>'''with shadow like a thundercloud;'''
>
>'''and o'er the gleaming king it bowed,'''
>
>'''as huge aloft like mace he hurled,'''
>
>'''that hammer of the underworld,'''
>
>'''Grond. Clanging to ground it tumbled'''
>
>'''down like a thunder-bolt, and crumbled'''
>
>'''the rocks beneath it; smoke up-started,'''
>
>'''a pit yawned, and a fire darted.'''
>
>'''Fingolfin like a shooting light'''
>
>'''beneath a cloud, a stab of white,'''
>
>'''sprang then aside, and Ringil drew'''
>
>'''like ice that gleameth cold and blue,'''
>
>'''his sword devised of elvish skill'''
>
>'''to pierce the flesh with deadly chill.'''
>
>'''With seven wounds it rent his foe,'''
>
>'''and seven mighty cries of woe'''
>
>'''rang in the mountains, and the earth quook,'''
>
>'''and Angband's trembling armies shook.'''
>
>'''Yet Orcs would after laughing tell'''

>'''of the duel at the gates of hell;'''
>
>'''though elvish song thereof was made'''

>'''ere this but one - when sad was laid'''
>
>'''the mighty king in barrow high,'''
>
>'''and Thorndor, Eagle of the sky,'''
>
>'''the dreadful tidings brought and told'''
>
>'''to mourning Elfinesse of old.'''
>
>'''Thrice was Fingolfin with great blows'''
>
>'''to his knees beaten, thrice he rose'''
>
>'''still leaping up beneath the cloud'''
>
>'''aloft to hold star-shining, proud,'''
>
>'''his stricken shield, his sundered helm,'''
>
>'''that dark nor might could overwhelm'''
>
>'''till all the earth was burst and rent'''
>
>'''in pits about him. He was spent.'''
>
>'''His feet stumbled. He fell to wreck'''
>
>'''upon the ground, and on his neck'''
>
>'''a foot like rooted hills was set,'''
>
>'''and he was crushed - not conquered yet;'''
>
>'''one last despairing stroke he gave:'''
>
>'''the mighty foot pale Ringil clave'''
>
>'''about the heel, and black the blood'''
>
>'''gushed as from smoking fount in flood.'''
>
>'''Halt goes for ever from that stroke'''
>
>'''great Morgoth; but the king he broke,'''
>
>'''and would have hewn and mangled thrown'''
>
>'''to wolves devouring. Lo! from the throne'''
>
>'''that Manwë bade him build on high,'''
>
>'''on peak unscaled beneath the sky,'''
>
>'''Morgoth to watch, now down there swooped'''
>
>'''Thorndor the King of Eagles, stooped,'''
>
>'''and rending beak of gold he smote'''
>
>'''in Bauglir's face, then up did float'''
>
>'''on pinions thirty fathoms wide'''
>
>'''bearing away, though loud they cried,'''
>
>'''the mighty corse, the Elven-king;'''
>
>'''and where the mountains make a ring'''
>
>'''far to the south about that plain'''
>
>'''where after Gondolin did reign,'''
>
>'''embattled city, at great height'''
>
>'''upon a dizzy snowcap white'''
>
>'''in mounded cairn the mighty dead'''
>
>'''he laid upon the mountain's head.'''

>'''Never Orc nor demon after dared'''

>'''that pass to climb, o'er which there stared'''

>'''Fingolfin's high and holy tomb,'''
>
>'''till Gondolin's appointed doom.'''
>
>'''Thus Bauglir earned the furrowed scar'''
>
>'''that his dark countenance doth mar,'''
>
>'''and thus his limping gait he gained;'''
>
>'''but afterward profound he reigned'''
>
>'''darkling upon his hidden throne;'''
>
>'''and thunderous paced his halls of stone,'''
>
>'''slow building there his vast design'''
>
>'''the world in thraldom to confine.'''
>
>'''Wielder of armies, lord of woe,'''
>
>'''no rest now gave he slave or foe;'''

>'''his watch and ward he thrice increased,'''
>
>'''his spies were sent from West to East'''
>
>'''and tidings brought from all the North,'''
>
>'''who fought, who fell; who ventured forth,'''
>
>'''who wrought in secret; who had hoard;'''
>
>'''if maid were fair or proud were lord;'''

>'''well nigh enmeshed in evil arts.'''
>
>'''Doriath only, beyond the veil'''

>'''among his foes, and threat of war'''
>
>'''from the seven sons of Fëanor,'''
>
>'''from Nargothrond, from Fingon still'''
>
>'''gathering his armies under hill'''
>
>'''and under tree in Hithlum's shade,'''
>
>'''these daily came. He grew afraid'''
>
>'''amidst his power once more; renown'''
>
>'''of Beren vexed his ears, and down'''
>
>'''the aisléd forests there was heard'''
>
>'''great Huan baying.'''
>
>'''Then came word'''
>
>'''most passing strange of Lúthien'''
>
>'''wild-wandering by wood and glen,'''
>
>'''and Thingol's purpose long he weighed,'''
>
>'''and wondered, thinking of that maid'''
>
>'''so fair, so frail. A captain dire,'''
>
>'''Boldog, he sent with sword and fire'''
>
>'''to Doriath's march; but battle fell'''
>
>'''sudden upon him: news to tell'''
>
>'''never one returned of Boldog's host,'''
>
>'''and Thingol humbled Morgoth's boast.'''
>
>'''Then his heart with doubt and wrath was burned:'''
>
>'''new tidings of dismay he learned,'''
>
>'''how Thû was o'erthrown and his strong isle'''
>
>'''broken and plundered, how with guile'''
>
>'''his foes now guile beset; and spies'''
>
>'''he feared, till each Orc to his eyes'''
>
>'''was half suspect. Still ever down'''
>
>'''the aisléd forests came renown'''
>
>'''of Huan baying, hound of war'''
>
>'''that Gods unleashed in Valinor.'''
>
>'''Then Morgoth of Huan's fate bethought'''
>
>'''long-rumoured, and in dark he wrought.'''
>
>'''Fierce hunger-haunted packs he had'''
>
>'''that in wolvish form and flesh were clad,'''
>
>'''but demon spirits dire did hold;'''
>
>'''and ever wild their voices rolled'''
>
>'''in cave and mountain where they housed'''
>
>'''and endless snarling echoes roused.'''
>
>'''From these a whelp he chose and fed'''
>
>'''with his own hand on bodies dead,'''
>
>'''on fairest flesh of Elves and Men,'''
>
>'''till huge he grew and in his den'''
>
>'''no more could creep, but by the chair'''
>
>'''of Morgoth's self would lie and glare,'''
>
>'''nor suffer Balrog, Orc, nor beast'''
>
>'''to touch h im. Many a ghastly feast'''
>
>'''he held beneath that awful throne,'''
>
>'''rending flesh and gnawing bone.'''
>
>'''There deep enchantment on him fell,'''
>
>'''the anguish and the power of hell;'''
>
>'''more great and terrible he became'''
>
>'''with fire-red eyes and jaws aflame,'''
>
>'''with breath like vapours of the grave,'''
>
>'''than any beast of wood or cave,'''
>
>'''than any beast of earth or hell'''

>'''Him Carcharoth, the Red Maw, name'''

>'''disastrous, ravening, from the gates'''

>'''of Angband. There he sleepless waits;'''
>
>'''where those great portals threatening loom'''
>
>'''his red eyes smoulder in the gloom,'''
>
>'''his teeth are bare, his jaws are wide;'''
>
>'''and none may walk, nor creep, nor glide,'''
>
>'''nor thrust with power his menace past'''
>
>'''to enter Morgoth's dungeon vast.'''
>
>'''Now, lo! before his watchful eyes'''
>
>'''a slinking shape he far descries'''
>
>'''that crawls into the frowning plain'''
>
>'''and halts at gaze, then on again'''
>
>'''comes stalking near, a wolvish shape'''
>
>'''haggard, wayworn, with jaws agape;'''
>
>'''and o'er it batlike in wide rings'''
>
>'''a reeling shadow slowly wings.'''
>
>'''Such shapes there oft were seen to roam,'''
>
>'''this land their native haunt and home;'''
>
>'''and yet his mood with strange unease'''
>
>'''is filled, and boding thoughts him seize.'''
>
>''''What grievous terror, what dread guard'''
>
>'''hath Morgoth set to wait, and barred'''
>
>'''his doors against all entering feet?'''
>
>'''Long ways we have come at last to meet'''
>
>'''the very maw of death that opes'''
>
>'''between us and our quest! Yet hopes'''
>
>'''we never had. No turning back!''''
>
>'''Thus Beren speaks, as in his track'''
>
>'''he halts and sees with werewolf eyes'''
>
>'''afar the horror that there lies.'''
>
>'''Then onward desperate he passed,'''
>
>'''skirting the black pits yawning vast,'''
>
>'''where King Fingolfin ruinous fell'''
>
>'''alone before the gates of hell.'''
>
>'''Before those gates alone they stood,'''
>
>'''while Carcharoth in doubtful mood'''
>
>'''glowered upon them, and snarling spoke,'''
>
>'''and echoes in the arches woke:'''
>
>''''Hail! Draugluin, my kindred's lord!'''
>
>''''Tis very long since hitherward'''
>
>'''thou camest. Yea, 'tis passing strange'''
>
>'''to see thee now: a grievous change'''
>
>'''is on thee, lord, who once so dire,'''
>
>'''so dauntless, and as fleet as fire,'''
>
>'''ran over wild and waste, but now'''
>
>'''with weariness must bend and bow!'''
>
>''''Tis hard to find the struggling breath'''
>
>'''when Huan's teeth as sharp as death'''
>
>'''have rent the throat? What fortune rare'''
>
>'''brings thee back living here to fare -'''
>
>'''if Draugluin thou art? Come near!'''
>
>'''I would know more, and see thee clear.''''
>
>''''Who art thou, hungry upstart whelp,'''
>
>'''to bar my ways whom thou shouldst help?'''
>
>'''I fare with hasty tidings new'''
>
>'''to Morgoth from forest-haunting Thû.'''
>
>'''Aside! for I must in; or go'''
>
>'''and swift my coming tell below!''''
>
>'''Then up that doorward slowly stood,'''
>
>'''eyes shining grim with evil mood,'''
>
>'''uneasy growling: 'Draugluin,'''
>
>'''if such thou be, now enter in!'''
>
>'''But what is this that crawls beside,'''
>
>'''slinking as if 'twould neath thee hide?'''
>
>'''Though wingéd creatures to and fro'''
>
>'''unnumbered pass here, all I know.'''
>
>'''I know not this. Stay, vampire, stay!'''
>
>'''I like not thy kin nor thee. Come, say'''
>
>'''what sneaking errand thee doth bring,'''
>
>'''thou wingéd vermin, to the king!'''
>
>'''Small matter, I doubt not, if thou stay'''
>
>'''or enter, or if in my play'''
>
>'''I crush thee like a fly on the wall,'''
>
>'''or bite thy wings and let thee crawl.''''
>
>'''Huge-stalking, noisome, close he came.'''
>
>'''In Beren's eyes there gleamed a flame;'''
>
>'''the hair upon his neck uprose.'''
>
>'''Nought may the fragrance fair enclose,'''
>
>'''the odour of immortal flowers'''
>
>'''in everlasting spring neath showers'''
>
>'''that glitter silver in the grass'''
>
>'''in Valinor. Where'er did pass'''
>
>'''Tinúviel, such air there went.'''
>
>'''From that foul devil-sharpened scent'''
>
>'''its sudden sweetness no disguise'''

>'''enchanted dark to cheat the eyes'''
>
>'''could keep, if near those nostrils drew'''
>
>'''snuffling in dount. This Beren knew'''
>
>'''upon the brink of hell prepared'''
>
>'''for battle and death. There threatening stared'''
>
>'''those dreadful shapes, in hatred both,'''
>
>'''false Draugluin and Carcharoth'''
>
>'''when, lo! a marvel to behold:'''
>
>'''some power, descended from of old,'''

>'''from race divine beyond the West,'''
>
>'''sudden Tinúviel possessed'''
>
>'''like inner fire. The vampire dark'''

>
>'''while sheer, heart-piercing silver, rang'''

>'''by white hands woven, like a smoke,'''
>
>'''like all-bewildering, all-enthralling,'''
>
>'''all-enfolding evening, falling'''
>
>'''from lifted arms, as forth she stepped,'''

>'''the well, the lightless pit of sleep!'''
>
>'''For one brief hour escape the net,'''

>'''the dreadful doom of life forget!''''
>
>'''His eyes were quenched, his limbs were loosed;'''

>'''above a lightless world forlorn'''

>
>'''All eyes were quenched, save those that glared'''

>
>'''of Morgoth's might now fallen down.'''
>
>'''To move that helm of iron vast'''

>'''of that cold morn whereon he fough'''
>
>'''with Curufin; then from his belt'''
>
>'''the sheathless knife he drew, and knelt,'''
>
>'''and tried its hard edge, bitter-cold,'''

>'''of dwarvish armourers singing slow'''

>'''Iron as tender wood it clove'''

>'''a Silmaril he clasped and held,'''
>
>'''and the pure radiance slowly welled'''
>
>'''red glowing through the clenching flesh.'''
>
>'''Again he stooped and strove afresh'''
>
>'''one more of the holy jewels three'''
>
>'''that Fëanor wrought of yore to free.'''
>
>'''But round those fires was woven fate:'''
>
>'''nor yet should they leave the halls of hate.'''

>'''The dwarvish steel of cunning blade'''
>
>'''by treacherous smiths of Nogrod made'''
>
>'''snapped; then ringing sharp and clear'''
>
>'''in twain it sprang, and like a spear'''
>
>'''or errant shaft the brow it grazed'''
>
>'''of Morgoth's sleeping head, and dazed'''
>
>'''their hearts with fear. For Morgoth groaned'''
>
>'''with voice entombed, like wind that moaned'''
>
>'''in hollow caverns penned and bound.'''
>
>'''There came a breath; a gasping sound'''

>'''moved through the halls, as Orc and beast'''

>'''turned in their dreams of hideous feast;'''

>'''in sleep uneasy Balrogs stirred,'''

>'''and far above was faintly heard'''

>'''And he escaping south, returned'''
>
>'''to Nargothrond his mighty realm,'''
>
>'''where still he wore his crownëd helm;'''
>
>'''but they to their northern homeland rode,'''
>
>'''dauntless and few, and there abode'''
>
>'''unconquered still, defying fate,'''
>
>'''pursued by Morgoth's sleepless hate.'''

----
OF TARN AELUIN THE BLESSED.

>'''Such deeds of daring there they wrought'''
>
>'''that soon the hunters that them sought'''
>
>'''at rumour of their coming fled.'''
>
>'''Though price was set upon each head'''
>
>'''to watch the weregild of a king,'''
>
>'''no soldier could to Morgoth bring'''
>
>'''news even of their hidden lair;'''
>
>'''for where the highland brown and bar'''
>
>'''above the darkling pines arose'''
>
>'''of steep Dorthonion to the snows'''
>
>'''and barren mountain-winds, there lay'''
>
>'''a tarn of water, blue by day,'''
>
>'''by night a mirror of dark glass'''
>
>'''for stars of Elbereth that pass'''
>
>'''above the world into the West.'''
>
>'''Once hallowed, still that place was blest:'''
>
>'''no shadow of Morgoth, and no evil thing'''
>
>'''yet thither came; a whispering ring'''
>
>'''of slender birches silver-grey'''
>
>'''stooped on its margin, round it lay'''
>
>'''a lonely moor, and the bare bones'''
>
>'''of ancient Earth like standing stones'''
>
>'''thrust through the heather and the whin;'''
>
>'''and there by houseless Aeluin'''
>
>'''the hunted lord and faithful men'''
>
>'''under the grey stones made their den.'''

----
OF GORLIM UNHAPPY.

>'''Gorlim Unhappy, Angrim's son,'''
>
>'''as the tale tells, of these was one'''
>
>'''most fierce and hopeless. He to wife,'''
>
>'''while fair was the fortune of his life,'''
>
>'''took the white maiden Eilinel:'''
>
>'''dear love they had ere evil fell.'''
>
>'''To war he rode; from war returned'''
>
>'''to find his fields and homestead burned,'''
>
>'''his house forsaken roofless stood,'''
>
>'''empty amid the leafless wood;'''
>
>'''and Eilinel, white Eilinel,'''
>
>'''was taken whither none could tell,'''
>
>'''to death or thraldom far away.'''
>
>'''Black was the shadow of that day'''
>
>'''for ever on his heart, and doubt'''
>
>'''still gnawed him as he went about'''
>
>'''in wilderness wandring, or at night'''
>
>'''oft sleepless, thinking that she might'''
>
>'''ere evil came have timely fled'''
>
>'''into the woods: she was not dead,'''
>
>'''she lived, she would return again'''
>
>'''to seek him, and would deem him slain.'''
>
>'''Therefore at whiles he left the lair,'''
>
>'''and secretly, alone, would peril dare,'''
>
>'''and come to his old house at night,'''
>
>'''broken and cold, without fire or light,'''
>
>'''and naught but grief renewed would gain,'''
>
>'''watching and waiting there in vain.'''
>
>'''In vain, or worse - for many spies'''
>
>'''had Morgoth, many lurking eyes'''
>
>'''well used to pierce the deepest dark;'''
>
>'''and Gorlim's coming they would mark'''
>
>'''and would report. There came a day'''
>
>'''when once more Gorlim crept that way,'''
>
>'''down the deserted weedy lane'''
>
>'''at dusk of autumn sad with rain'''
>
>'''and cold wind whining. Lo! a light'''
>
>'''at window fluttering in the night'''
>
>'''amazed he saw; and drawing near,'''
>
>'''between faint hope and sudden fear,'''
>
>'''he looked within. 'Twas Eilinel!'''
>
>'''Though changed she was, he knew her well.'''
>
>'''With grief and hunger she was worn,'''
>
>'''her tresses tangled, raiment torn;'''
>
>'''as soft she wept: 'Gorlim, Gorlim!'''
>
>'''Thou canst not have forsaken me.'''
>
>'''Then slain, alas! thou slain must be!'''
>
>'''And I must linger cold, alone,'''
>
>'''and loveless as a barren stone!''''
>
>'''One cry he gave - and then the light'''
>
>'''blew out, and in the wind of night'''
>
>'''wolves howled; and on his shoulder fell'''
>
>'''suddenly the griping hands of hell.'''
>
>'''There Morgoth's servants fast him caught'''
>
>'''and he was cruelly bound, and brought'''
>
>'''to Sauron captain of the host,'''
>
>'''the lord of werewolf and of ghost,'''
>
>'''most foul and fell of all who knelt'''
>
>'''at Morgoth's throne. In might he dwelt'''
>
>'''on Gaurhoth Isle; but now had ridden'''
>
>'''with strength abroad, by Morgoth bidden'''
>
>'''to find the rebel Barahir.'''
>
>'''He sat in dark encampment near,'''
>
>'''and thither his butchers dragged their prey.'''
>
>'''There now in anguish Gorlim lay:'''
>
>'''with bond on neck, on hand and foot,'''
>
>'''to bitter torment he was put,'''
>
>'''to break his will and him constrain'''
>
>'''to buy with treason end of pain.'''
>
>'''But naught to them would he reveal'''
>
>'''of Barahir, nor break the seal'''
>
>'''of faith that on his tongue was laid;'''
>
>'''until at last a pause was made,'''
>
>'''and one came softly to his stake,'''
>
>'''a darkling form that stooped, and spake'''
>
>'''to him of Eilinel his wife.'''
>
>''''Wouldst thou,' he said, 'forsake thy life,'''
>
>'''who with few words might win release'''
>
>'''for her, and thee, and go in peace,'''
>
>'''and dwell together far from war,'''
>
>'''friends of the King? What wouldst thou more?''''
>
>'''And Gorlim, now long worn with pain,'''
>
>'''yearning tosee his wife again'''
>
>'''(whom well he weened was also caught'''
>
>'''in Sauron's net), allowed the thought'''
>
>'''to grow, and faltered in his troth.'''
>
>'''Then straight, half willing and half loath,'''
>
>'''they brought him to the seat of stone'''
>
>'''where Sauron sat. He stood alone'''
>
>'''before that dark and dreadful face,'''
>
>'''and Sauron said: 'Come, mortal base!'''
>
>'''What do I hear? That thou wouldst dare'''
>
>'''to barter with me? Well, speak fair!'''
>
>'''What is thy price?' And Gorlim low'''
>
>'''bowed down his head, and with great woe,'''
>
>'''word on slow word, at last implored'''
>
>'''that merciless and faithless lord'''
>
>'''that he might free depart, and might'''
>
>'''again find Eilinel the White,'''
>
>'''and dwell with her, and cease from war'''
>
>'''against the King. He craved no more.'''
>
>'''Then Sauron smiled, and said: 'Thou thrall!'''
>
>'''The price thou askest is but small'''
>
>'''for treachery and shame so great!'''
>
>'''I grant it surely! Well, I wait:'''
>
>'''Come! Speak now swiftly and speak true!''''
>
>'''Then Gorlim wavered, and he drew'''
>
>'''half back; but Sauron's daunting eye'''
>
>'''there held him, and he dared not lie:'''
>
>'''as he began, so must he wend'''
>
>'''from first false step to faithless end:'''
>
>'''he all must answer as he could,'''
>
>'''betray his lord and brotherhood,'''
>
>'''and cease, and fall upon his face.'''
>
>'''Then Sauron laughed aloud. 'Thou base,'''
>
>'''thou cringing worm! Stand up,'''
>
>'''and hear me! And now drink the cup'''
>
>'''that I have sweetly blent for thee!'''
>
>'''Thou fool: a phantom thou didst see'''
>
>'''that I, I Sauron, made to snare'''
>
>'''thy lovesick wits. Naught else was there.'''
>
>'''Cold 'tis with Sauron's wraiths to wed!'''
>
>'''Thy Eilinel! She is long since dead,'''
>
>'''dead, food of worms less now than thou.'''
>
>'''And yet thy boon I grant thee now:'''
>
>'''to Eilinel thou soon shalt go,'''
>
>'''and lie in her bed, no more to know'''
>
>'''of war - or manhood. Have thy pay!''''
>
>'''And Gorlim then they dragged away,'''
>
>'''and cruelly slew him; and at last'''
>
>'''in the dank mould his body cast,'''
>
>'''where Eilinel long since had laid'''
>
>'''in the burned woods by butchers slain.'''
>
>'''Thus Gorlim died an evil death,'''
>
>'''and cursed himself with dying breath,'''
>
>'''and Barahir at last was caught'''
>
>'''in Morgoth's snare; for set at naught'''
>
>'''by treason was the ancient grace'''
>
>'''that guarded long that lonely place,'''
>
>'''Tarn Aeluin: now all laid bare'''
>
>'''were secret paths and hidden lair.'''
>
>'''3. OF BEREN SON OF BARAHIR & HIS ESCAPE.'''
>
>'''Dark from the North now blew the cloud;'''
>
>'''the winds of autumn cold and loud'''
>
>'''hissed in the heather; sad and grey'''
>
>'''Aeluin's mournful water lay.'''
>
>''''Son Beren', then said Barahir,'''
>
>''''Thou knowst the rumour that we hear'''
>
>'''of strength from the Gaurhoth that is sent'''
>
>'''against us; and our food nigh spent.'''
>
>'''On thee the lot falls by our law'''
>
>'''to go forth now alone to draw'''
>
>'''what help thou canst from the hidden few'''
>
>'''that feed us still, and what is new'''
>
>'''to learn. Good fortune go with thee!'''
>
>'''In speed return, for grudgingly'''
>
>'''we spare thee from our brotherhood,'''
>
>'''so small: and Gorlim in the wood'''
>
>'''is long astray or dead. Farewell!''''
>
>'''As Beren went, still like a knell'''
>
>'''resounded in his heart that word,'''
>
>'''the last of his father that he heard.'''
>
>'''Through moor and fen, by tree and briar'''
>
>'''he wandered far: he saw the fire'''
>
>'''of Sauron's camp, he heard the howl'''
>
>'''of hunting Orc and wolf a-prowl,'''
>
>'''and turning back, for long the way,'''
>
>'''benighted in the forest lay.'''
>
>'''In weariness he then must sleep,'''
>
>'''fain in a badger-hole to creep,'''
>
>'''and yet he heard (or dreamed it so)'''
>
>'''nearby a marching legion go'''
>
>'''with clink of mail and clash of shields'''
>
>'''up towards the stony mountain-fields.'''
>
>'''He slipped then into darkness down,'''
>
>'''until, as man that waters drown'''
>
>'''strives upwards gasping, it seemed to him'''
>
>'''he rose through slime beside the brim'''
>
>'''of sullen pool beneath dead trees.'''
>
>'''Their livid boughs in a cold breeze'''
>
>'''trembled, and all their black leaves stirred:'''
>
>'''each leaf a black and croaking bird,'''
>
>'''whose neb a gout of blood let fall.'''
>
>'''He shuddered, struggling thence to crawl'''
>
>'''through winding weeds, when far away'''
>
>'''he saw a shadow faint and grey'''
>
>'''gliding across the dreary lake.'''
>
>'''Slowly it came, and softly spake:'''
>
>''''Gorlim I was, but now a wraith'''
>
>'''of will defeated, broken faith,'''
>
>'''traitor betrayed. Go! Stay not here!'''
>
>'''Awaken, son of Barahir,'''
>
>'''and haste! For Morgoth's fingers close'''
>
>'''upon thy father's throat; he knows'''
>
>'''your trysts, your paths, your secret lair.''''
>
>'''Then he revealed the devil's snare'''
>
>'''in which he fell, and failed; and last'''
>
>'''begging forgiveness, wept, and passed'''
>
>'''out into darkness. Beren woke,'''
>
>'''leapt up as one by sudden stroke'''
>
>'''with fire of anger filled. His bow'''
>
>'''and sword he seized, and like the roe'''
>
>'''hotfoot o'er rock and heath he sped'''
>
>'''at Aeluin at last he came,'''
>
>'''as the red sun westward sank in flame;'''
>
>'''but Aeluin was red with blood,'''
>
>'''red were the stones and trampled mud.'''
>
>'''Black in the birches sat a-row'''
>
>'''the raven and the carrion crow;'''
>
>'''wet were their nebs, and dark the meat'''
>
>'''that dripped beneath their griping feet.'''
>
>'''One croaked: 'Ha, ha, he comes too late!''''
>
>''''Ha, ha!' they answered, 'ha! too late!''''
>
>'''There Beren laid his father's bones'''
>
>'''in haste beneath a cairn of stones;'''
>
>'''no graven rune nor word he wrote'''
>
>'''o'er Barahir, but thrice he smote'''
>
>'''the topmost stone, and thrice aloud'''
>
>'''he cried his name. 'Thy death', he vowed,'''
>
>''''I will avenge. Yea, though my fate'''
>
>'''should lead at last to Angband's gate.''''
>
>'''And then he turned, and did not weep:'''
>
>'''too dark his heart, the wound too deep.'''
>
>'''Out into night, as cold as stone,'''
>
>'''loveless, friendless, he strode alone.'''
>
>'''Of hunter's lore he had no need'''
>
>'''the trail to find. With little heed'''
>
>'''his ruthless foe, secure and proud,'''
>
>'''marched north away with blowing loud'''
>
>'''of brazen horns their lord to greet,'''
>
>'''trampling the earth with grinding feet.'''
>
>'''Behind them bold but wary went'''
>
>'''now Beren, swift as hound on scent,'''
>
>'''until beside a darkling well,'''
>
>'''where Rivil rises from the fell'''
>
>'''down into Serech's reeds to flow,'''
>
>'''he found the slayers, found his foe.'''
>
>'''From hiding on the hillside near'''
>
>'''he marked them all: though less than fear,'''
>
>'''too many for his sword and bow'''
>
>'''to slay alone. Then, crawling low'''
>
>'''as snake in heath, he nearer crept.'''
>
>'''There many weary with marching slept,'''
>
>'''but captains, sprawling on the grass,'''
>
>'''drank from hand to hand let pass'''
>
>'''their booty, grudging each small thing'''
>
>'''raped from dead bodies. One a ring'''
>
>'''held up, and laughed: 'Now, mates,' he cried'''
>
>''''here's mine! And I'll not be denied,'''
>
>'''though few be like it in the land.'''
>
>'''For I 'twas wrenched it from the hand'''
>
>'''of that same Barahir I slew,'''
>
>'''the robber-knave. If tales be true,'''
>
>'''he had it of some elvish lord,'''
>
>'''for the rogue-service of his sword.'''
>
>'''No help it gave to him - he's dead.'''
>
>'''They're parlous, elvish rings, 'tis said;'''
>
>'''still for the gold I'll keep it, yea'''
>
>'''and so eke out my niggard pay.'''
>
>'''Old Sauron bade me bring it back,'''
>
>'''and yet, methinks, he has no lack'''
>
>'''of weightier treasures in his hoard:'''
>
>'''the greater the greedier the lord!'''
>
>'''So mark ye, mates, ye all shall swear'''
>
>'''the hand of Barahir was bare!''''
>
>'''And as he spoke an arrow sped'''
>
>'''from tree behind, and forward dead'''
>
>'''choking he fell with barb in throat;'''
>
>'''with leering face the earth he smote.'''
>
>'''Forth, then as wolfhound grim there leapt'''
>
>'''Beren among them. Two he swept'''
>
>'''aside with sword; caught up the ring;'''
>
>'''back into the shadow passed, and fled'''
>
>'''before their yells of wrath and dread'''
>
>'''of ambush in the valley rang.'''
>
>'''Then after him like wolves they sprang,'''
>
>'''howling and cursing, gnashing teeth,'''
>
>'''hewing and bursting through the heath,'''
>
>'''shooting wild arrows, sheaf on sheaf,'''
>
>'''at trembling shade or shaken leaf.'''
>
>'''In fateful hour was Beren born:'''
>
>'''he laughed at dart and wailing horn;'''
>
>'''fleetest of foot of living men,'''
>
>'''tireless on fell and light on fen,'''
>
>'''elf-wise in wood, he passed away,'''
>
>'''defended by his hauberk grey'''
>
>'''of dwarvish craft in Nogrod made,'''
>
>'''where hammers rang in cavern's shade.'''
>
>'''As fearless Beren was renowned:'''
>
>'''when men most hardy upon ground'''
>
>'''were reckoned folk would speak his name,'''
>
>'''foretelling that his after-fame'''
>
>'''would even golden Hador pass'''
>
>'''of Barahir and Bregolas;'''
>
>'''but sorrow now his heart had wrought'''
>
>'''to fierce despair, no more he fought'''
>
>'''in hope of life or joy or praise,'''
>
>'''but seeking so to use his days'''
>
>'''only that Morgoth deep should feel'''
>
>'''the sting of his avenging steel,'''
>
>'''ere death he found and end of pain:'''
>
>'''his only fear was thraldom's chain.'''
>
>'''Danger he sought and death pursued,'''
>
>'''and thus escaped the doom he wooed,'''
>
>'''and deeds of breathless daring wrought'''
>
>'''alone, of which the rumour brought'''
>
>'''new hope to many a broken man.'''
>
>'''They whispered 'Beren', and began'''
>
>'''in secret words to whet, and soft'''
>
>'''by shrouded hearths at evening oft'''
>
>'''songs they would sing of Beren's bow,'''
>
>'''of Dagmor his sword: how he would go'''
>
>'''silent to camps and slay the chief,'''
>
>'''or trapped in his hiding past belief'''
>
>'''would slip away, and under night'''
>
>'''by mist or moon, or by the light'''
>
>'''of open day would come again.'''
>
>'''Of hunters hunted, slayers slain'''
>
>'''they sang, of Gorgol the Butcher hewn,'''
>
>'''of ambush in Ladros, fire in Drûn,'''
>
>'''of thirty in one battle dead,'''
>
>'''of wolves that yelped like curs and fled,'''
>
>'''yea, Sauron himself with wound in hand.'''
>
>'''Thus one alone filled all that land'''
>
>'''with fear and death for Morgoth's folk;'''
>
>'''his comrades were the beech and oak'''
>
>'''who failed him not, and wary things'''
>
>'''with fur and fell and feathered wings'''
>
>'''that silent wander, or dwell alone'''
>
>'''in hill and wild and waste of stone'''

>'''watched o'er his ways, his faithful friends.'''

>'''recorded: dark athwart the land'''
>
>'''reached out of the shadow of his hand,'''

4. OF THE COMING OF BEREN TO DORIATH; BUT FIRST IS TOLD OF THE MEETING OF MELIAN AND THINGOL.

>'''There long ago in Elder-days'''
>
>'''ere voice was heard or trod were ways,'''
>
>'''the haunt of silent shadows stood'''
>
>'''in starlit dusk Nan Elmoth wood.'''
>
>'''In Elder-days that long are gone'''
>
>'''a light amid the shadows shone,'''
>
>'''a voice was in the silence heard:'''
>
>'''the sudden singing of a bird.'''
>
>'''There Melian came, the Lady grey,'''
>
>'''and dark and long her tresses lay'''
>
>'''beneath her silver girdle-seat'''
>
>'''and down unto her silver feet.'''
>
>'''The nightingales with her she brought,'''
>
>'''to whom their song herself she taught,'''
>
>'''who sweet upon her gleaming hands'''
>
>'''had sung in the immortal lands.'''
>
>'''Thence wayward wandering on a time'''
>
>'''from Lórien she dared to climb'''
>
>'''the everlasting mountain-wall'''
>
>'''of Valinor, at whose feet fall'''
>
>'''the surges of the Shadowy Sea.'''
>
>'''Out away she went then free,'''
>
>'''to gardens of the Gods no more'''
>
>'''returning, but on mortal shore,'''
>
>'''a glimmer ere the dawn she strayed,'''
>
>'''singing her spells from glade to glade.'''
>
>'''A bird in dim Nan Elmoth wood'''
>
>'''trilled, and to listen Thingol stood'''
>
>'''amazed; then far away he heard'''
>
>'''a voice more fair than fairest bird,'''
>
>'''a voice as crystal clear of note'''
>
>'''as thread of silver glass remote.'''
>
>'''[manuscript C ends. Recommences with mss. D]'''
>
>'''Of folk and kin no more he thought;'''
>
>'''of errand that the Eldar brought'''
>
>'''from Cuiviénen far away,'''
>
>'''of lands beyond the Seas that lay'''
>
>'''no more he recked, forgetting all,'''
>
>'''drawn only by that distant call'''
>
>'''till deep in dim Nan Elmoth wood'''
>
>'''lost and beyond recall he stood.'''
>
>'''And there he saw her, fair and fay:'''
>
>'''Ar-Melian, the Lady grey,'''
>
>'''as silent as the windless trees,'''
>
>'''standing with mist about her knees,'''
>
>'''and in her face remote the light'''
>
>'''of Lórien glimmered in the night.'''
>
>'''No word she spoke; but pace by pace,'''
>
>'''a halting shadow, towards her face'''
>
>'''forth walked the silver-mantled king,'''
>
>'''tall Elu Thingol. In the ring'''
>
>'''of waiting trees he took her hand.'''
>
>'''One moment face to face they stand'''
>
>'''alone, beneath the wheeling sky,'''
>
>'''while starlit years on earth go by'''
>
>'''and in Nan Elmoth wood the trees'''
>
>'''grow dark and tall. The murmuring seas'''
>
>'''rising and falling on the shore'''
>
>'''and Ulmo's horn he heeds no more.'''
>
>'''But long his people sought in vain'''
>
>'''their lord, till Ulmo called again,'''
>
>'''and then in grief they marched away,'''
>
>'''leaving the woods. To havens grey'''
>
>'''upon the western shore, the last'''
>
>'''long shore of mortal lands, they passed,'''
>
>'''and thence were borne beyond the Sea'''
