Eowyn, all i see Gimili doing is extending the metaphor further, not giving the origianl morn/eve an exsclusive meaning.

It just happens to be that the morning [Galadriel] will pass away.

I see it as a simple case of Yin [ arwen ] and Yang [galadriel].

What is amazing about JRRT's writing is that the metaphor CAN be extended to so many of the above meanings.
