Tolkien's poem in Qenya entitled Earendel (The Monsters and the Critics, p. 216): San ninqeruvisse lútier kiryasse Earendil or vea, ar laiqali linqi falmari langon veakiryo kírier; wingildin o silqelosseën alkantaméren úrio kalmainen; i lunte linganer, tyulmin talalínen aiqalin kautáron, i súru laustaner.
J.R.R. Tolkien translates it: 'Then upon a white horse sailed Earendel, upon a ship upon the sea, and the green wet waves the throat of the sea-ship clove. The foam-maidens with blossom-white hair made it shine in the lights of the sun; the boat hummed like a harp-string; the tall masts bent with the sails; the wind 'lausted'.
