1. Vilanelle
All of my life I have been half of two
And ties of love still hold us bound
But now must I stand as one without you.
I followed you always as we grew –
I was the prince but you the king uncrowned,
All of my life I have been half of two
You were the world, the universe, I knew
You shaped for me the sky – the ground,
But now must I stand as one without you.
Echoes in the dark night I heard, and rue,
As Gondor’s Horn gave a final sound -
All of my life I have been half of two
I am undone if these omens prove true –
For it is in you my heart is found,
But now must I stand as one without you.
Dark lies the water I see you through
And fate’s dreams come now blackly gowned -
All of my life I have been half of two
But now must I stand as one without you.
