Summary: After her marriage to the King, Inzilbêth receives a message from her beloved, a woman of the Faithful, and sends her own in response.
Warnings: none
Notes: Ar-Gimilzôr forced the Elf-friends to move from Andúnië, in the west of Númenor, to Rómenna in the east. Inzilbêth, who he married against her will, was kin to the Lords of Andúnië and secretly of the Faithful. Tar-Palantir was their son.
East, not West we must look; so the King commands.
West, not East my song rises, to the Lords of the West who are eternal.
West, not East my heart turns, for love of the King’s lady who once dwelt in Andúnië.
~
East, not West the King’s face is turned; though unwilling, the Queen must stand beside him.
West, not East fly my prayers, though my lips must remain silent.
East, not West flies my heart, to the haven of Rómenna; for the King’s lady has not forgotten the love she knew in the House of the Lord of Andúnië.
