Nimrodel
An Elven-maid there was of old,
A shining star by day:
Her mantle white was hemmed with gold,
Her shoes of silver-grey

In LotR Legolas sings the ballad of the Elven-maid Nimrodel,who lived near the eponymous river and falls close to Lothlórien.She disappeared and her mourning lover Amroth cast himself into the sea. Her voice is still echoed in Nimrodel's water music.

... for Nimrodel flows into Silverlode, that Elves call Celebrant, + Celebrant into Anduin the Great, + Anduin flows into the Bay of Belfalas whence the Elves of Lórien set sail. But neither Nimrodel nor Amroth came ever back.”

Her lover Amroth waited for her in “havens grey” but a storm set the ship loose + on its way to Valinor. Of Nimrodel we only hear that she was never seen before, though there is a stream that bears her name.

I think it was the inspiration for the story of Nimrodel and Amroth in The Legolas speaks of the Elven-maid Nimrodel, who got lost on her way to the west shores of Middle-earth.
