FOTR, Book 2, Chapter VII,
These lyrics are sung as the first two
lines of the Lothlórien Theme. In
Doug Adams' FOTR
booklet, he lists only these two lines as the "Lothlórien"
Theme, but I think many of us are familiar with the melody
progressing along a few more lines. In the cases when it does... and
it's sung... those lines are from another source poem, which the
FOTR Annotated
Score calls,
Lament
for Gandalf (Chorus Text).
Sung by
Miriam
Stockley and
The London Voices, female choir.

The Mirror of Galadriel
Galadriel
tells Frodo:
"Do you not see now wherefore your
coming is to us as the footstep of Doom? For if you fail, then we
are laid bare to the Enemy. Yet if you succeed, then our power is
diminished, and Lothlórien will fade, and the tides of Time will
sweep it away. We must depart into the West, or dwindle to a rustic
folk of dell and cave, slowly to forget and to be forgotten.'
Frodo bent his head. `And what do
you wish? ' he said at last.
'That
what should be shall be,' she
answered. 'The
love
of the Elves for their land
and their works
is deeper than the deeps of the Sea,
and their regret is undying
and cannot ever wholly be assuaged.
Yet they will cast all away rather than
submit to Sauron: for they know him now. For
the fate of Lothlórien you are not answerable, but only for the
doing of your own task. Yet I could wish, were it of any avail,
that the One Ring had never been wrought, or had remained for ever
lost.'"
