A Elbereth Gilthoniel

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
o menel palan-díriel
le nallon sí di'nguruthos!
A tiro nin, Fanuilos!

From the Sindarin elvish:

O Elbereth Starkindler, white-glittering, slanting falls, sparkling like jewels, from the firmament the glory of the starry host! Having gazed afar into remote distance from the tree-tangled Middle-lands, Everwhite, to thee I will chant on this side of the ocean, here on this side of the Great Ocean!

O Elbereth Starkindler, from heaven gazing afar, to thee I cry here beneath the shadow of death! O look towards me, Everwhite!
