The Passing of the Elves (known as The Elvish Lament)

The Passing of the Elves (The Elvish Lament)
Fading stars, we sing your praise
A song of the sunset sea,
Light guides us through the shadows
In this world of memory!
O Elbereth Gilthoniel
Your beauty shines like a dream
Fading stars, we’ll sing for you
As we drift across the ocean.
O stars, we seek your glory
In the light of the western sun
Now silver shines on the waves
We hear the whispers of the night.
O Elbereth Gilthoniel
We remember your gentle grace
In the shadows of this twilight
As we gaze upon the sea.
