Light now fades into the dark
and the sun has gone
the nightingale sings upon the birch bow
declaring day is done

A lonely rose still hopes for light
to open its blossomed bud
and the fire’s red flames at last go out
leaving coals as red as blood

Night now soothes the darkened earth
into a peaceful sleep
and harks unto the midnight sky
her fields of stars to reap

(Elvish Version)

Galad si sinte min I dur
ar ianor orn lende
I dulin lire amon ibrethil luva
Eques I arya na’ av

a eressea vire’ still estel ten galad
an etera sas loth tuima
I nars ruin yallume lelya et
lesta coals ya caran ya seleg

lo’ si soothes I moread kemen
min a sendal lore`
Ar harks tein I enlo` vilya
Ase lava` of elen an reep
