A song of Lórien and the Vales of Anduin, recounting the tragic tale of the Elf-maiden Nimrodel and Amroth the King of Lórien. Nimrodel dwelt beside the river that shared her name, but with the awakening of the Balrog in Moria, many of the people of Lórien chose to flee into the West. Among these were Nimrodel and Amroth, but on the journey to the southern haven of Edhellond, Nimrodel became lost in the mountains. The ship carrying Amroth set sail from the haven, but he could not bear to be parted from Nimrodel. He leapt from the vessel into the Sea, and was lost. We have a short poem that briefly describes the tale of Nimrodel (sung by Legolas in The Fellowship of the Ring II 6, Lothlórien), but this does not appear to be the true Lay of Nimrodel. Legolas says that this short poem is a small part of a longer work, translated from the Elvish. So, this 'Song of Nimrodel' (as it is titled in the Index of Songs and Verses) appears to be based only loosely on the full Elvish Lay of Nimrodel. Indexes: About this entry:
