A Elbereth Gilthoniel!

My own Quenya transcription and illustration to go with JRR Tolkien's Elvish hymn to Varda:

 

A Elbereth Gilthoniel

O Elbereth Starkindler,

silivren penna míriel

white-glittering, slanting down sparkling like a jewel,

o menel aglar elenath!

the glory of the starry host!

Na-chaered palan-díriel

Having gazed far away

o galadhremmin ennorath,

from the tree-woven lands of Middle-earth,

Fanuilos, le linnathon

to thee, Everwhite, I will sing,

nef aear, sí nef aearon!

on this side of the Sea, here on this side of the Ocean!

 

Inspired by the artwork in the books, the aesthetics of the movies, and the Art Nouveau style of illustration.
