A song performed by Maegwin over the grave of her father, king Lluth.
Lyrics[]
The section starts with Maegwin already near the end of the song.
“...So Drukhi found her,
Beloved Nenais’u, wind-footed dancer,
Stretched on the green grass, as silent as stone
Her dark eye sky-watching,
Only her shining blood gave him answer,
Her head lay uncradled, her black hair undone.
Long time he held her,
Through gray-shadowed evening, beneath shamefaced night,
Matching the hours she had lain there alone.
His bright eyes unblinking,
Drukhi sang songs of the East’s timeless light.
He whispered to her they would wait for the sun
Dawn, golden-handed,
Caressed but could not warm the nightingale’s child
Nenais’u’s swift spirit had fled unhomed
Close Drukhi clutched her,
His voice echoed out through woods and through wild
Where two hearts had sounded now beat only one.”
