I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew: |
| [00:59.45] |
Of wind I sang, a wind there came and in the branches blew. |
| [01:23.63] |
Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon, the foam was on the Sea, |
| [01:36.96] |
And by the strand of Ilmarin there grew a golden Tree. |
| [02:02.30] |
Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone, |
| [02:12.19] |
In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion. |
| [02:22.07] |
There long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching years, |
| [02:31.76] |
While here beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears. |
| [02:45.71] |
O Lórien! The Winter comes, the bare and leafless Day; |
| [02:58.36] |
The leaves are falling in the stream, the River flows away. |
| [03:11.82] |
|
| [04:28.68] |
O Lórien! Too long I have dwelt upon this Hither Shore |
| [04:43.08] |
And in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor. |
| [05:07.62] |
But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to me, |
| [05:21.02] |
What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea? |
