 A demon of the ancient world Drew a blade and whip that curled Threatening, challenging, battling But the light of Glorfindel dazzling Fearless on day of Reckoning His shield of gold was valiant His blade engraved with adamant He sang a song of Eldamar And shining grew unto a star Then lept forth in golden ire Undaunted then to vanquish fire They battled long above the abyss Glorfindel’s song recalled the bliss Of golden fields of Valmar wide And Gondolin in its pride The swords clashed in a pale flame The shadows not could Glorfindel maim But neither could the dark shadow Slay the golden Elf aglow For the undimmed Light of the Trees Shone in his spirit fair and free But day lengthened, Glorfindel tired And kindled the demon’s wrath was fired Over rock above ravine On deep cleft mountains between But the victory of Angband Was to slip from its very hand For in the darkness of defeat The demon fell upon its feet And fell crying into dark ravine Which neither men or Elves has seen But grief befell Gondolindrim For valiant Glorfindel on the rim Was pulled by his golden hair And fell from above below the stair There perished the hero of Gondolin For whom otherwise Eärendil might not have been But Thorondor came on winged breath And bore him thence from within the cleft On mountainside they laid him fair On mound of grass beneath the air With golden flowers blooming there Never shall that cairn from mountain descend Till the World is changed and the World end.
