[00:45.30]I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew:
[00:59.45]Of wind I sang, a wind there came and in the branches blew.
[01:23.63]Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon, the foam was on the Sea,
[01:36.96]And by the strand of Ilmarin there grew a golden Tree.
[02:02.30]Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone,
[02:12.19]In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion.
[02:22.07]There long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching years,
[02:31.76]While here beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears.
[02:45.71]O Lórien! The Winter comes, the bare and leafless Day;
[02:58.36]The leaves are falling in the stream, the River flows away.
[03:11.82]
[04:28.68]O Lórien! Too long I have dwelt upon this Hither Shore
[04:43.08]And in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor.
[05:07.62]But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to me,
[05:21.02]What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?
