Eärendil

Beneath the Moon and under star
 He wandered far from strands
 Bewildered on enchanted ways
 Beyond the days of mortal lands
 From gnashing of the Narrow Ice
 Where shadow lies on hills
 From nether heats and burning waste
 He turned in haste, and roving still
 He came unto the timeless halls
 Where shining fall the countless years
 And endless reigns the Elder King
 In Ilmarin on Mountain sheer
 And words unheard were spoken then
 Of folk of Men and Elven-kin
 Beyond the world were visions showed
 Forbid to those that dwell therein
 He saw the Mountain silent rise
 Where twilight lies upon
 Of Valinor, and Eldamar
 Beheld afar beyond the seas
 He came unto the timeless halls
 Where shining fall the countless years
 And endless reigns the Elder King
 In Ilmarin on Mountain sheer
 And words unheard were spoken then
 Of folk of Men and Elven-kin
 Beyond the world were visions showed
 Forbid to those that dwell therein
 The Silmaril she bound on him
 And crowned him with the light
 And dauntless then with burning brow
 He turned his prow; and in the night
 From Otherworld beyond the Sea
 There strong and free a storm arose
 His boat it bore with biting breath
 As might of death across the grey
 And long-forsaken seas
 And over Middle-earth he passed
 And heard at last the weeping sore
 Of women and of elven-maids
 In Elder Days, in years of yore
 But on him mighty doom was laid
 Till Moon should fade, an orbéd star
