Nar'el, nar'el burns this night,
'fire star' it means, although bright,
through folklore I look above
through yearless eyes at stars I love;

Nar'el, nar'el burns this night,
golden stars of fire, of ire, of light,
where elvish dreams doth rest
above rimming moon shining acrest;

Nar'el, nar'el burns this night,
'round green trees, 'round the sky,
where midnight masses gather
and sing of things proud and fair;

Nar'el, nar'el burns this night,
flame in the void, light in darkness
amidst red rocks lifeless
and river glimmering rideless;

Nar'el, nar'el burns this night,
a river in the sky, a stairway to heaven,
amidst dank pebbles in the stream
as moonlight strikes the land with a gleam;

Nar'el, nar'el burns this night,
in the ancient tongue of Elvish maidens,
from Isildur, 'dark moon'
to 'Queen of the Stars', Elbereth;

Nar'el, nar'el burns this night,
a remnant of times lost, of old,
of music played by harps, of celestial songs,
the stars which conquer all, still longs;

Nar'el, nar'el burns this night,
Nar'el, nar'el burns this night.

But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..."

You're back! Yay! And this poem is, well, really unusually superb. I felt as if I was running through a land of fairies.

Three welcomes in a row is WELCOMING! Also, to know how people can react to different styles of poetry is always worth knowing, when in doubt. Welcome for welcoming me.
