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!
From the Sindarin elvish:

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