[00:06.94]	E?endil was a mariner
[00:08.07]	that tarried in Arvernien;
[00:09.63]	he built a boat of timber felled
[00:11.02]	in Nimbrethil to journey in;
[00:13.58]	her sails he wove of silver fair,
[00:15.05]	of silver were her lanterns made,
[00:16.59]	her prow was fashioned like a swan,
[00:18.23]	and light upon her banners laid.
[00:21.57]	In panoply of ancient kings,
[00:23.51]	in chained rings he armoured him;
[00:24.95]	his shining shield was scored with runes
[00:26.49]	to ward all wounds and harm from him;
[00:29.07]	his bow was made of dragon-horn,
[00:30.78]	his arrows shorn of ebony,
[00:32.62]	of silver was his habergeon,
[00:35.66]	his scabbard of chalcedony;
[00:44.91]	his sword of steel was valiant,
[00:48.39]	of adamant his helmet tall,
[00:52.75]	an eagle-plume upon his crest,
[00:57.58]	upon his breast an emerald.
[01:10.42]	Beneath the Moon and under star
[01:11.80]	he wandered far from northern strands,
[01:13.35]	bewildered on enchanted ways
[01:14.81]	beyond the days of mortal lands.
[01:17.53]	From gnashing of the Narrow Ice
[01:19.22]	where shadow lies on frozen hills,
[01:20.66]	from nether heats and burning waste
[01:22.36]	he turned in haste, and roving still
[01:29.79]	on starless waters far astray
[01:35.53]	at last he came to Night of Naught,
[01:43.03]	and passed, and never sight he saw
[01:50.05]	of shining shore nor light he sought.
[02:05.03]	The winds of wrath came driving him,
[02:08.51]	and blindly in the foam he fled
[02:13.05]	from west to east and errandless,
[02:17.84]	unheralded he homeward sped.
[02:28.19]	There flying Elwing came to him,
[02:31.69]	and flame was in the darkness lit;
[02:35.94]	more bright than light of diamond
[02:40.88]	the fire upon her carcanet.
[02:53.11]	The Silmaril she bound on him
[02:54.50]	and crowned him with the living light
[02:56.10]	and dauntless then with burning brow
[02:57.58]	he turned his prow; and in the night
[03:00.15]	from Otherworld beyond the Sea
[03:01.69]	there strong and free a storm arose,
[03:03.32]	a wind of power in Tarmenel;
[03:04.92]	by paths that seldom mortal goes
[03:17.49]	his boat it bore with biting breath
[03:21.14]	as might of death across the grey
[03:25.76]	and long-forsaken seas distressed:
[03:30.58]	from east to west he passed away.
[03:40.16]	Through Evernight he back was borne
[03:44.72]	on black and roaring waves that ran
[03:49.96]	o'er leagues unlit and foundered shores
[03:56.22]	that drowned before the Days began,
[04:02.06]	until he heard on strands of pearl
[04:06.65]	when ends the world the music long,
[04:12.54]	where ever foaming billows roll
[04:17.98]	the yellow gold and jewels wan.
[04:31.57]	He saw the Mountain silent rise
[04:33.11]	where twilight lies upon the knees
[04:34.69]	of Valinor, and Eldamar
[04:36.30]	beheld afar beyond the seas.
[04:39.32]	A wanderer escaped from night
[04:40.82]	to haven white he came at last,
[04:42.54]	to Elvenhome the green and fair
[04:44.19]	where keen the air, where pale as glass
[04:52.05]	beneath the Hill of Ilmarin
[04:58.26]	a-glimmer in a valley sheer
[05:05.74]	the lamplit towers of Tirion
[05:13.25]	are mirrored on the Shadowmere.
[05:30.27]	He tarried there from errantry,
[05:32.01]	and melodies they taught to him,
[05:33.61]	and sages old him marvels told,
[05:35.15]	and harps of gold they brought to him.
[05:37.93]	They clothed him then in elven-white,
[05:39.57]	and seven lights before him sent,
[05:41.37]	as through the Calacirian
[05:42.97]	to hidden land forlorn he went.
[05:51.03]	He came unto the timeless halls
[05:56.33]	where shining fall the countless years,
[06:04.15]	and endless reigns the Elder King
[06:10.44]	in Ilmarin on Mountain sheer;
[06:26.81]	and words unheard were spoken then
[06:30.59]	of folk of Men and Elven-kin,
[06:35.06]	beyond the world were visions showed
[06:40.07]	forbid to those that dwell therein.
[06:51.00]	A ship then new they built for him
[06:54.46]	of mithril and of elven-glass
[06:58.98]	with shining prow; no shaven oar
[07:03.77]	nor sail she bore on silver mast:
[07:12.47]	the Silmaril as lantern light
[07:16.92]	and banner bright with living flame
[07:22.81]	to gleam thereon by Elbereth
[07:28.10]	herself was set, who thither came
[07:33.89]	and wings immortal made for him,
[07:38.32]	and laid on him undying doom,
[07:43.05]	to sail the shoreless skies and come
[07:48.70]	behind the Sun and light of Moon.
[07:54.24]	From Evereven's lofty hills
[07:59.71]	where softly silver fountains fall
[08:07.51]	his wings him bore, a wandering light,
[08:15.08]	beyond the mighty Mountain Wall.
[08:32.35]	From World's End then he turned away
[08:33.82]	and yearned again to find afar
[08:35.49]	his home through shadows journeying,
[08:36.97]	and burning as an island star
[08:39.80]	on high above the mists he came,
[08:41.46]	a distant flame before the Sun,
[08:44.55]	a wonder ere the waking dawn
[08:47.16]	where grey the Norland waters run.
[08:53.44]	And over Middle-earth he passed
[08:57.75]	and heard at last the weeping sore
[09:02.88]	of women and of elven-maids
[09:08.37]	in Elder Days, in years of yore.
[09:14.34]	But on him mighty doom was laid,
[09:18.78]	till Moon should fade, an orbéd star
[09:24.10]	to pass, and tarry never more
[09:29.29]	on Hither Shores where mortals are;
[09:42.84]	for ever still a herald on
[09:44.38]	an errand that should never rest
[09:46.70]	to bear his shining lamp afar,
[09:50.91]	the Flammifer of Westernesse.
