Thanks.

My sister dear, in wild woods
Wandered far from home.

My lord and husband always would
Follow her under stary dome.

I, in golden gardens blooming
Happy danced with sister-in-law,

While songs, from tiny beauties singing,
Mingled with the raucous caw.

Famous I am not, for no great deeds
Have my hands performed.

But one who left my side for a steed
Is everywhere beloved.

Who am I?

Well,you,please...

And here:

Born in happy place
with smile on my face

My brother left bliss
and he ended in unhapiness

And although we're apart
he'll always stay in my heart.

Who am I?

It's a bit tricky...

Alright then...

My sister dear, in wild woods
Wandered far from home. (Yavanna wandered in the woods of Middle Earth, very far away from Valinor)

My lord and husband always would
Follow her under stary dome. (Orome, her husband, was the other one who wandered there)

I, in golden gardens blooming (the gardens of Laurelin)
Happy danced with sister-in-law, (Nessa, the dancer, was Orome's sister)

While songs, from tiny beauties singing, (tiny beauties being birds)
Mingled with the raucous caw. (caw from a crow, another bird - "the birds sang at her passing")

Famous I am not, for no great deeds
Have my hands performed. (Well, yeah)

But one who left my side for a steed (Arien, for her "steed" the sun)
Is everywhere beloved. (Well, everyone loves the sun!)

~~~

Okay, if the answer's Lalaith, I'm going to laugh, but I don't think that would be "a bit tricky".

The trouble is, it does sound like Lalaith, doesn't it?

Is it sad that I thought that too? Or is it just that obvious?
