Rising up from mountain stream
comes a sound so sweet and clear
The fairest voice in Elvendom
for those who wish to hear
The lovely, lively Nimrodel
with her waters icy cold
She sings a song of yesterday
and heals the travellers weary soul
There dancing lightly down the hills
through forests deep and green
She comes unto the Golden Wood
still flowing swift and clean
Beneath a rainbow in the mist
by the falls of Nimrodel
If you listen, you may hear her sing
and a tale to you she'll tell
She tells you of her forest bower
where no man now may roam
And of her love who was borne away
across the breaking foam
She seeks him ever on her way
as flowing fleet and fair
The Celebrant she runs to meet
tripping lightly down the crystal stair
Then passing on her merry way
clear Celebrant does flow
To meet and marry Anduin the Great
in waters vast below
And from the South come voices
of the Sea when breezes blow
There Amroth's calling, seeking
for his love lost long ago
Amid the waters of Anduin
his voice comes singing still
And searching to the Celebrant
he finds his Nimrodel
The swirling winds their voices blend
in lovers' language clear as bells
As Nimrodel and Amroth meet at last
and there embrace within the rising swells
Then singing, laughing Southward go
their mingled voices on their way
And pass beyond the River great
into the Seaward waters of the Bay
Within the Bay of Belfalas
these lovers arm in arm do twirl
And heading out to Sea at last
together pass beyond the confines of the world
comes a sound so sweet and clear
The fairest voice in Elvendom
for those who wish to hear
The lovely, lively Nimrodel
with her waters icy cold
She sings a song of yesterday
and heals the travellers weary soul
There dancing lightly down the hills
through forests deep and green
She comes unto the Golden Wood
still flowing swift and clean
Beneath a rainbow in the mist
by the falls of Nimrodel
If you listen, you may hear her sing
and a tale to you she'll tell
She tells you of her forest bower
where no man now may roam
And of her love who was borne away
across the breaking foam
She seeks him ever on her way
as flowing fleet and fair
The Celebrant she runs to meet
tripping lightly down the crystal stair
Then passing on her merry way
clear Celebrant does flow
To meet and marry Anduin the Great
in waters vast below
And from the South come voices
of the Sea when breezes blow
There Amroth's calling, seeking
for his love lost long ago
Amid the waters of Anduin

And searching to the Celebrant

The swirling winds their voices blend
