Lovely was she
As in elven-song is told:
She had pearls in hair
All threaded fair;
Of gossamer shot with gold
Was her kerchief made,
And a silver braid
Of stars about her throat.
Of moth-web light
All moonlit-white
She wore a woven coat,
And round her kirtle
Was bound a girdle
Sewn with diamond dew.
{J. R. R. Tolkien, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Little Princess Mee, Tolkien’s Little Princess Mee by Denney Home Place}
Principessina Me
Più bella non c’è,
I canti elfici narrano:
Perle tra i capelli
Intrecciati e belli;
Di fili d’or di ragnatela
Un fazzoletto aveva,
E stelle argentee
Qual collana attorno al collo.
Leggero qual falena,
Bianco come luna,
Un cappotto lei indossava;
Sulla gonna sua
C’era una cintura
Con diamanti di rugiada.
{J. R. R. Tolkien, Le Avventure di Tom Bombadil, La Principessa Me, Tolkien’s Little Princess Mee by Denney Home Place}
