Nightingale keens
at last on a darkling plain.
Evenstar eclipsed.

Frodo's mortal heart
was aroused by rain-drenched song:
River-daughter's laugh.
Yet title intrigues.
What tender trap do you read,
Poet, love or quest?

Leaf fall and lock lost:
Autumnal wist take Gimli
with Galadriel.

The form answering,
an expostulation now:
'Tis less cold control
than measured finesse,
distillation of desire,
intensity wrought.
