The Shores of Faëry lyrics

East of the Moon, west of the Sun

there stands a lonely hill;

its feet are in the pale green sea,

its towers are white and still,

beyond Taniquetil

in Valinor.

Comes never there but one lone star

that fled before the moon;

and there the Two Trees naked are

that bore Night's silver bloom,

that bore the globéd fruit of Noon

in Valinor.

There are the shores of Faëry

with their moonlit pebbled strand

whose foam is silver music

on the opalescent floor

beyond the great sea-shadows

on the marches of the sand

that stretches on for ever

to the dragonheaded door,

the gateway of the Moon,

beyond Taniquetil

in Valinor.

West of the Sun, east of the Moon,

lies the haven of the star,

the white town of the Wanderer

and the rocks of Eglamar.

There Wingelot is harboured,

while Eärendel looks afar

o'er the darkness of the waters

between here and Eglamar -

out, out, beyond Taniquetil

in Valinor afar.
