Since she's mortal she dies eventually. I think that the last stanza refers to the whole mortal world rather than her as an individual. And the "time leap" is a much longer leap than a lifespan of a human. "Never" - eternity. Firiel might have passed on, and her children and grandchildren etc, but one thing that stays the same is that the Elves (and whatever they symbolise in your eyes) forsook our world forever.
