O Varda, Lady of the Stars,
O Queen of Light,
O Greatest Valier;
Arda be ravaged by wars,
But still thou loveth it, and lighteth its night.
Most worshipp’d by Elves thou always were.

O Varda, Lady of the Stars,
Thou light’d the Lamps of the Valar.
But the Lamps were brok’n, the Trees such a distance away,
Thou made the stars – wert now Gilthoniel and Tintallë.
O Kindler who is still unmarr’d,
Most worshipp’d by Elves thou still are.

O Varda, Lady of the Stars,
Spouse of Manwë, King of Arda and Valar
Who fashioned and lighted all the stars…
Star-Queen, Elbereth and Elentarì,
Thy works we shall always see.
Most worshipp’d by Elves shalt always be.
