Re: encantations... ?

O fading town upon an island hill!
Old shadows linger in thine ancient gate.
Thy robe is grey, thy old heart now is still
Thy towers silent in the mists await their crumbling end
While through the storeyed elms
These gliding black waters leave these inland realms
And slip between long meadows to the Sea
Still bearing downward over murmurous falls
One day and then another to the Sea
And slowly thither many years have gone
Since first the Elves here built ancient, renown ....?

(any mistakes I may have made above I beg to excuse as I did not bother to look the song up in the book)
