Chapter 1 - dream

I've seen a dream and in a worry woken,
I cannot understand "what does it mean?"
Maybe the dream is just a trick on me,
Or may it be my destiny's foretoken?

I 've dreamt a town white like robe of fiancées,
A pearl, that in green velvet glimmers on,
That's rhymed along with ancient Tirion
In  unified rhythm of signs and spaces.

I've dreamt the town - a patch of light on cliffs.
All shining, set aside from Time and Place,
It has forgotten both pain and grace, 
Despising those ones who dreamt of this.

I've dreamt this town. And for whole hours,
There, set above the people, light of power, 
The maker, lord and happy faithful lover
Was looking round by his sightless eyes.
