For I left Thy shores carelessly
Desired to rule a realm my own
In wide unguarded lands and see
The beauty of a world unknown.

I wandered near and wandered far
Yet still my heart could not find rest.
Beneath the moon and frosted star
I dwelt, yet longed for cities blessed.

Now most have sailed across the Sea
In ships so white, and bright, and free.
Yet still I linger sorrowfully
And in my soul I yearn for Thee.

O Tirion! My Elvenhome!
Eldamar, my heart breaks for Thee
To wander in Thy gardens fair
And dwell forever there with Thee.
