Namárië
Galadriel's Lament for Lórien
Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind,
long-years numberless as the wings of trees!
The long years have passed like swift draughts
of the sweet mead in lofty halls
beyond the West, the dome-vaults of Varda
under blue vaults wherein the stars tremble
in the voice of her song, holy and queenly.
Now who shall refill the cup for me?
About this text
Namárië ("Farewell") is Galadriel's own lament, sung as the Fellowship prepares to leave Lothlórien. It is the longest continuous piece of Quenya Tolkien ever published, and the only poem in The Lord of the Rings that Tolkien wrote first in an Elvish language before rendering it into English.
