Nairë Nimglinwa (Nimglin's Lament)

Nimglin was fair even for elves
Sons of the three who sailed the sea
Camceleb she met under the trees
Telperion and Laurelin

Then it was dark
Ungoliant came
With unholy thirst
Consumed the endless light

One finer day in Valinor
A child was born called Nirmenor
Heart made of steel, hair like the night
Now once again hope shone so bright

Then Fëanor spoke
Filled with dark pride
Turned against kind
Left for the hopeless war

"We shall take back jewels of light
We'll fight Morgoth this is our oath
Now we must leave, please come with me"
Sadly she said, "I shall be here"

Cold is the heart
Filled with revenge and hate
Colder the ice
Of Helcaraxë strait

She doesn't know how it will end
Though fate is doom, hope still remains
She dreams that one day they will return
West of the sea in Valinor
