Galadriel's Song

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold,

and leaves of gold there grew

Of wind I sang, a wind there came

and in the branches blew

Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon,

the foam was on the Sea,

And by the strand of llmarin there

there grew a golden Tree

Beneath the stars of Ever-eve

in Eldamar it shone,

In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion

There long the golden leaves have grown

upon the branching years

While here beyond the Sundering Seas

now fall the Elven-tears

O Lórien! ... ...

O Lórien! The Winter comes

the bare and leafless Day

The leaves are falling

upon in the stream,the River flows away

O Lórien! Too long I have dwelt

upon this Hither Shore

And in a fading crown have twined

the golden elanor

But if of ships I now should sing,

what ship would come to me

What ship would bear

me ever backacross so wide a Sea

O Lórien! ... ...
