Lament for the Two Trees

Elemmírë’s song of regret

Elemmírë was a Vanya of Valinor, and was almost certainly present on the slopes of Taniquetil when Melkor and Ungoliant swept across the lands below and destroyed the Two Trees that gave light to the realm of the Valar. After the Darkening of Valinor, Elemmírë made a lament, Aldudénië or the Lament of the Two Trees, that mourned the passing of the Light of Valinor.
