A song of Eglador as sung by Galmaxthalion in the refuge of Meluinen by the waters, in the presence of good company and merryment -
Beneath the stars ere moon set sail
Amidst the holly tall and fair
There grew niphredil the pale
That Ennor aplenty in that age did wear.
The forests stretched far and wide
Under the embrace of ever-night
And by the foaming riverside
The thousand caves were filled with light
Song unending filled the air
Of nightingales amid trees of stone
And fountains sprayed water clear
Long ago in sunless years
When world was young
And from trouble the heart was free
In the land of which I have sung
Now embraced by the sea
