Carol of the Elves

Hark how the Elves
Sweet Silvan Elves
All love to sing
With mead they bring.
Elf bards are here
Bringing good cheer
To Dark or Grey
Hear tunes they play.

A! Elbereth!
That's how it is
With joyful ring
All joyous sing.
E'en Dwarves can hear
Kind thoughts and cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air.

Gaily they sing
Others are joining
Songs of good cheer
The Eldar are here.

Meren, meren, meren, meren beleth.
Meren, meren, meren, meren beleth.

On they lament
On without end
Their lovely tone
To every home...

(repeat entire song)

Ui-ann-thennath
Linin.
