An elven maid there was of old, a shining [A] star [Am] by day.
Her mantle _ white was hemmed with glow, _ [G] her shoes of silver [Am] gray. _ _ _
_ A star was bound upon her brows, a light [G] was on [Am] her hair. _
As sun upon the golden _ boughs, [Em] and lorry in [Am] the fair.
_ _ _ Her hair was longer than swerve height, and fair [E] she was [Am] and free.
_ And in the wind she went as light, [E] as leaf of linden [Am] tree.
_ Beside the [G] falls of [Am] _
Nimrodel, by water [G] clear and cool.
Her voice as falling [Am] silver fell [D] into _ the shining [Am] pool. _
_ _ _ Where now she _ wanders, man can tell, in sunlight [G] or [Am] in shade.
For lost of yore was Nimrodel, _ [G] and in the mountains [Am] _
_ strayed.
_ _ The elven ship in haven grey, beneath [G] the [Am] mountain lee.
_ Awaited her for many a day, [G] beside the roaring blue sea.
A wind by night in [Am] northern lands arose [G] and loud it cried.
And o'er the ship from [Am] elven _ strands, [G] across the streaming [Am] _
tide. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ When dawn came dear and was lost, the [G] mountain sinking [Am] grey.
Beyond [A] the _ heaving waves that _ tossed, [C] their plumes [G] of [Am] blinding spray.
_ _ _ And what _ beheld the fading shore, how low [G] beyond [Am] the swell.
And cursed the _ faithless ship that moored, [G] in far from _ _
[Am] Nimrodel.
How old [C] he was, an [Am] elven king, a [G] lord of tree and glen.
When golden were the [Am] boughs in spring, [G] in fair of [Am] Lorien. _
From helm to sea they saw him flee, as [G] arrow from [Am] the string.
And dive into _ the water _ deep, [G] as new upon [Am] the ring. _ _
_ A wind was in his flowing hair, a [Em] foam about [Am] him shone.
A fire they saw, strong and [A] fair, [G] though riding like [Am] a swan.
But from [G] the west has [Am] come no word, and [G] on the hither shore.
No tidings _ elven [Am] folk have heard, [G] of Elmcroft _ [Am] _ evermore.
But from the _ west has come no word, and [G] on the [Am] hither shore.
No tidings _ [A]
elven folk have [Am] _ heard, of _ Elmcroft _ _ [A] evermore. _ _
