The meeting of Melian and Thingol is the inspiration for this song. It is sung both in Rivendell and Lothlórien, as well as other places, when honouring the descendants of those two.
She stands still with gazing on her face,
Stand still and gaze for minutes, hours and years; to her give place.
All other things shall change, but she remains the same,
'til heavens changed have their course and time hath lost its name.
He who doth stand there rooted down, blinded with her fair eyes,
His fortune captive at her feet, content and conquer'd, lies.
I would fain the light of Aman see,
Yet in her eyes the gold and silver trees reflected be.
All nightingales fair around her sing aloud,
And as the dark'ning wood doth close them all with shade about,
He who doth stand there rooted down, blinded with her fair eyes,
His fortune captive at her feet, content and conquer'd, lies.
OOC: These lyrics consist of a slightly altered first verse of "Time stands still" by John Dowland, as well as a second verse written by me.
