Ai, Elessar! You who were raised in Imladris,
do you not know that it is you Men will miss?
For today, sadly, you have passed away,
and Evenstar went to Lórien to stay.
By Lord Elrond you were raised,
and for your long, hard labors praised.
Through the days both fair and fell,
you hoped with Evenstar to forever dwell.
The renowned Fellowship of the Ring you did join,
with four hobbits, an Elf, Boromir, and the son of Glóin.
All that followed you willingly you led
through the frightening Paths of the Dead.
To beautiful Arwen of fair Rivendell
you wedded, a most wise lady-edhel.
Peace and prosperity flourished in your reign,
under your care. Now only found is pain.
Ai, Elessar! Your death Men sadly lament,
your return desired. To eternal rest you went.
