Letra de 'The Song Of Eärendil (part II)' de Clamavi De Profundis

There flying elwing came to him
And flame was in the darkness lit
More bright than light of diamond
The fire upon her carcanet

The silmaril she bound on him
And crowned him with the living light
And dauntless then with burning brow
He turned his prow; and in the night

From otherworld beyond the sea
There strong and free a storm arose
A wind of power in tarmenel
By paths that seldom mortal goes

His boat it bore with biting breath
As might of death across the grey
And long forsaken seas distressed
From east to west he passed away

Through evernight he back was borne
On black and roaring waves that ran
O'er leagues unlit and foundered shores
That drowned before the days began

Until he heard on strands of pearl
Where ends the world the music long
Where ever-foaming billows roll
The yellow gold and jewels wan

He saw the mountain silent rise
Where twilight lies upon the knees
Of valinor, and eldamar
Beheld afar beyond the seas

A wanderer escaped from night
To haven white he came at last
To elvenhome the green and fair
Where keen the air, where pale as glass

Beneath the hill of ilmarin
A-glimmer in a valley sheer
The lamplit towers of tirion
Are mirrored on the shadowmere

He tarried there from errantry
And melodies they taught to him
And sages old him marvels told
And harps of gold they brought to him

They clothed him then in elven-white
And seven lights before him sent
As through the calacirian
To hidden land forlorn he went

He came unto the timeless halls
Where shining fall the countless years
And endless reigns the elder king
In ilmarin on mountain sheer

And words unheard were spoken then
Of folk of men and elven-kin
Beyond the world were visions showed
Forbid to those that dwell therein
