The Last Elven King

Ships are coming to take away the last of elven - kind from Middle Earth The seas are drawing them to lands where stories do not end The scent of distant lands begins to seep into the ships Journeys have beginnings - an they also have end ings Does it seem to you that the end is approaching soon? As mortals it is hard to comprehend how the immortals view the passage of time We live under the Doom of Mandos Our tales are brief whereas the Elven folk do not know the dark winds of mortality The last elven king in Middle Earth is departing Leaving behind mortal shores to journey beyond the veil To where the White Tree blooms The home of the elven - folk who are now leaving Middle - Earth forever

yes, I know how you adore the tales of the middle earth. I remember being so in love with the trilogy when I was in high school.
