how much water has gone

since those days

when first elf stepped on the earth

and until now we wandering here

among the world of woven trees!



O stars that

in the sunless year

with shining hand

by her were sown

in windy fields

now bright and clear

we see your silver blossom blown!



Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!

clear are thy eyes

and bright thy breath!

oh! snow - white queen!

we sing to thee

in a far land beyond the sea



Galadriel! Galadriel!

clear is the water of your well

white is the star in your white hand

unstained is leaf and land

more fair than thoughts of mortal men



In Dwimordene, In Lorien

seldom have walked the feet of men,

few mortal eyes have seen the light

that lies there ever, long and bright

long and bright



Galadriel! Galadriel!

clear is the water of your well

white is the star in your white hand

unmarred is leaf and land



Galadriel! Galadriel!

clear is the water of your well

more fair than thoughts of mortal men



O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!

we still remember, we who dwell

in this far land beneath the trees

thy starlight on the western seas
