silvery waters breathe purity
nymphs dance 'round their goddess
winged words of peace and serenity
silken veils
tenderness
the swans bear
lutanist your beautiful tears
create the stream of life
the silent wish
of the nymph's here
may your echo arrive
everywhere

forever wind this road it's way
my feet go on I cannot stay
the door from which it all begun
is left behind
on and on
I tread this road till I may meet
a further course some larger way
where different paths each other greet
always gone I cannot stay

it is not gold though it may glisten
gnarled roots hidden from the frost
if those who walk would really listen
the old that is strong will not be lost

Nimrodel

an elven maid like shining gold
she looked a star by day
a gold hemned robe she wore of old
her feet in silver grey
upon her head a star was bound
it shone so light and fair
like sun in Lorien is found
it shines in elven's hair
she was so bright she was so free
flowing hair her limbs so tall
she went in wind and breeze as light
as linden leaf in fall
from Nimrodel beside the falls
words like liquid silver heard
a distant voice that clearly calls
though no one said a word
into the shining pool is lost
the voice of Nimrodel
she walks upon a further coast
that none has lived to tell

Gandalf

when in the Shire grey eve had come
his footsteps heard at end of day
to silent journey he had gone
over the hills and far away
from barren north to scorching hill
through woods he walks when'er he will
a sword of death a hand that heals
a weary back bent neath it's toil
a booming voice a branch he wheels
a pilgrim walking heavy soil
alone he stood on bridge of stone
to conquish darkness with his might
and fighting shadows on his own
in Khazad Dûm his wisdom died

Tender Innocence Part 2
04:00

born is the child
born in complete innocence
maternal feelings of love
makes child's course begin
white stretches
peace of mind
tender innocence
the beginning of the course of life
fortune knows not borders
Eden-like woods shelter
from all that is evil
divinely singing birds show the way
as life strides along
times seem to hasten fleetly as well
it's also the same way
how shelter once comes to an end
again white stretches
mother and child go farther afield
entirely disappearing out of sight
on their way to their final fate

blue valleys
overwhelmed with sweet odours
green trees
and above all love
paradisiac fruits grow
life in abundance and peace
God & Devil
they're off

the scourge of pleasure
has become the one of doom
gallowropes strangle
Christ crucified
"The Apocalyps ... soon?!"

|
in terror I'm looking behind
not knowing what's in front of me
a frail bridge across a yawning chasm
do I lead myself to Babylon
or am I to be called blessed
time has come to leave
what shall my ultimate destination be

Peter Swart Maassluis, The Netherlands
Heavily influenced by the symphonic rock music of the seventies, my compositions range from intimate pieces for the classical guitar ('Along flowing waters' on THE PATH) to robust themes ('Movement 5' on ROFLORÉ). Inspiration is found in dreams , paintings, literature ('Werther' on THE COUCH), fairy tales ('The Snow Queen' on SHADES) and science fiction (ROFLORÉ and ODERAN). ... more
