"Arwen, Arwen, on your green grave you lie
Open above to the starry sky
May your grave ne'er be disturbed by some creature fell
May you sleep as you did in Imladris in Rivendell
O Arwen, my daughter, Arwen, Arwen
May upon you fall the golden leaves of Lorien
May they cover the place where you came to die
Leave it no more open the starry sky
May, O may they come to rest
Upon your still heart in your still breast
You murmured "Estel!" with your last breath
Now are your eyes closed in death
But so great a love can never part
And now once again you are one in heart
Ai! There is more than memory beyond the circles of the earth
O my daughter, never forget the one who gave you birth!
Arwen, daughter of Luthien
Tinuviel dancing on earth again!
All ye Elves, hear as I mourn
You have died, Arwen, fairest of First-born
May the blue niphredil your pale brow ever adorn!
Upon Cerin Amroth is your grave of green
May it by mortal eyes never be seen!
Why, my daughter, was it your fate to die?
So cold and still to in death to lie?
Arwen, Arwen, O my daughter
Now she shall ne'er cross the water
Some other love found and caught her!
Never now to be seen by the First-born
All ye elves, listen to me as I mourn!
Even as she is dead, even as I sing
The Evenstar in the sky is fading!
O now in death you ever shall lie!
Why? Why? Ai! Ai!
Mortal became Luthien the fair
And where her grave is, no one knows where
But in the dying woods of Lorien
Is the grave of Arwen
Now you can never cross the water!
Arwen, Arwen, my fair daughter!"
