THE FIRST

CANDLE EVE

The Meeting of Fayendar and Enava

In the stream that watered nearby

the cool spring, which flowed,

watering the Crafter's Village

The dark maiden came to bathe alone

dancing and singing with chanted voice

laughter of strange words.

She came forth of that village

from Uruk did she come

to wet her feet in the running cool.

She sang aloud with undisturbed joy

a sweet song of glad reunions,

alone she sang to herself.

Under the spell of the pale moonlight

the candle stars which burned true,

shining beneath the sky above.

I came beyond the Greenleaves a hill

from the woodland’s crest I came,

watching amid the shadow’s breeze.

I silently gazed, unseen by her eyes

as in prancing manner of clapping hands,

she danced and played before me.

What manner of beauty was this I beheld;

with crimson lips which flowered in song,

dark flowing hair on such tender brow?

Alone did she bathe with body so bare

of firm legs standing undressed,

washing high breast in the silver moonlight.

I breathed in a tongue unknown to her

softly recanting her words back aloud,

my silent voice she heard upon the wind.

The trees moved with the warm breeze

then that maiden’s song fell still,

for the branches swayed her to silence.

The wind sang my song to her,

like some unknown bird in flight of joy

whose wing the silence then did break.

For fear she dared not move, though enchanted

that her own song was heard in love;

she wondered of that beyond the shadows.

Disreguarding all that lay about those trees

forgetting her nakedness she stayed

as in awe before me she now stood.

Likewaise did I before her stand still

caring not for the hidden trunk of bark

only the beauty of her smiling grace behold.

Face to face in greeting embrace

as enchanted soul-mates now known to be

on that our first summer’s CandleEve.
