Elven Hymn to Elbereth is the song from The Fellowship of the Ring (novel) that the Elves Frodo Baggins, Peregrin Took, and Sam Gamgee meet in the Shire are singing. The book says that the song is in the elven tongue, Sindarin, but the sound shapes itself in their heads into words.
- Snow-white! Snow-white! O Lady clear!
- O Queen beyond the Western Seas!
- O Light to us that wander here
- Amid the world of woven trees!
- Amid the world of woven trees!
- Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!
- Clear are thy eyes and bright thy breath!
- Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee
- In a far land beyond the Sea.
- In a far land beyond the Sea.
- 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!
- We see your silver blossom blown!
- O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!
- We still remember, we who dwell
- In this far land beneath the trees,
- Thy starlight on Western Seas.
