Afterwards, in Quiet Comfort

In the mist, beneath the sun
While the foaming rivers run

Here we sit. Just you and me
Together now beyond the sea

No dim Halls or parlous strands
No more Oath with cruel demands

The moon shines silver on your face
With braided gold our hands enlace

New doth rise Beleriand
Renewed together we now stand

Arms do comfort, hearts entwine
Touch as sweet as honey wine

Reed-mace grows, the lapwings cry
We lie beneath the starry sky

No riddle this, no shadowed doom
Enduring peace and breathing room

Until the Second Music sounds
In fierce contentment love abounds
