(ŠIbn Ghalad 2005)</p>

Upon the hearth the fire is red,<br>
Beneath the roof there is a bed<br>
But not yet weary are our feet,<br>
Still round the corner we may meet<br>
A sudden tree or standing stone<br>
That none have seen but we alone.</p>

Tree and flower and leaf and grass,<br>
Let them pass! let them pass!<br>
Hill and water under sky,<br>
Pass them by! Pass them by!</p>

Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!<br>
Clear are thy eyes and bright thy breath!<br>
Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee!<br>
In a far land beyond the sea.</p>

Still round the corner<br> 
There may wait a new road or a secret gate,<br>
And though we pass them by today,<br>
Tomorrow we may come this way<br>
And take the hidden paths that run<br> 
towards the moon or to the sun.</p>

Apple, thorn and nut and sloe,<br>
Let them go! Let them go!<br>
Sand and stone and pool and dell,<br>
Fare you well! Fare you well!</p>

O stars that in the sunless year<br>
With shining hands by her were sown<br>
In windy fields now bright and clear<br>
We see your silver blossom blown!</p>

Home is behind, the world ahead,<br>
And there are many paths to tread<br>
Through shadows to the edge of night<br>
Until the stars are all alight.<br>
Then world behind and home ahead,<br>
We'll wander back to home and bed.</p>

Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,<br>
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!<br>
Fire and lamp, meat and bread,<br>
And then to bed! And then to bed!</p>

O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!<br>
We still remember, we who dwell<br>
In this far land beneath the trees<br>
Thy starlight on the western seas.</p>

A! Elbereth Gilthoniel!<br>
Silivren Penna Miriel<br>
O Menel Algar Elenath<br>
Gilthoniel, A! Elbereth!</p>
