Notes

Our story has ended,
our future in gloom;
to turn into fairies,
oh sneer of the doom!

Rhyme and picture idea for this tengwa contributed by Ránatar/Maivandion on VL, who also provided a translation into Russian:

   История наша окончилась
И дальше нас ждёт только мрак.
Крылатою мелочью скорчиться -
Судьба, за что ты нас так?
Our story has ended
and then only darkness awaits us.
To shrink into winged runts -
Fate, why are you doing this to us?

A translation into Dutch: (LOT)

   Voor ons is het slot
een droef en wrang lot:
kabouters met vleugels
te worden - zo'n spot!
For us, the end is
a sad and twisted fate:
to become winged gnomes/pixies -
such a mockery!
