Question Am I "Missing" something?

I can't figure out where in the soundtrack these lyrics are from:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>17. The Missing <P>Words by Philippa Boyens, translated into Old English (Rohirric) by David Salo, music by Howard Shore. <BR> <P>Héo naefre wacode dægréd <BR>Tó bisig mid dægeweorcum <BR>Ac oft héo wacode sunnanwanung <BR>Ðonne nihtciele créap geond móras <BR>And on ðaere hwile <BR>Héo dréag ðá losinga <BR>Earla ðinga ðe héo forléas. <BR>Héo swá oft dréag hire sáwle sincende <BR>Héo ne cúðe hire heortan lust. <P>'She never watched the morning rising,<BR>Too busy with the day's first chores,<BR>But oft she would watch the sun's fading,<BR>As the cold of night crept across the moors.<BR>And in that moment<BR>She felt the loss<BR>Of everything that had been missed.<BR>So used to feeling the spirit sink,<BR>She had not felt her own heart's wish.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Is this about Arwen or Éowyn? In the soundtrack booklet there is a picture of Arwen, but the lyrics (and the fact that they're in Old English rather than Elvish) seem to be about Éowyn.<P>Where do these lyrics go and who are they about? By "where" I mean, are these the lyrics sung during "Evenstar" or "Breath of Life" or what? Confusion reigns... <p>[ January 02, 2003: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]
