Oh great Mandos
High among Valar
I come to you in sorrow
And with a broken heart

Long has been my journey
That led me to these halls
But now I kneel before thee
As grief my spirit calls

I seek a man named Beren
Whom I bid await me here
I pledged that I would find him
Before he leaves this sphere

This man of whom I speak
He gave his life for me
But thence my soul grew weak
And at last it too broke free

So borne upon an urgent breeze
I travelled to this place
Where only one thing could appease
The torment I now face

Oh tell me I am not too late
To see my love once more
For that would be too cruel a fate
I beg him be restored

That we may take a little time
To bid our last farewell
And remember all we shared erstwhile
Such joy no one could quell

For never was a greater love
Than that within our hearts
Once born, forever binding us
E'en though through death we part
