 I sang  of leaves,  of leaves  of gold,  and leaves  of gold  there grew:
 Of wind  I sang,  a wind  there came  and in  the branches  blew.
 Beyond  the Sun,  beyond  the Moon,  the foam  was on  the Sea,
 And by  the strand  of Ilmarin  there grew  a golden  Tree.
 Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone,
 In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion.
 There long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching years,
 While here beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears.
O  Lorien!  The Winter comes,  the bare and leafless  Day;
 The leaves  are falling in  the stream, the River  flows away.
O  Lorien!  Too long I have  dwelt upon  this Hither Shore
 And in  a fading crown  have twined the golden  elanor.
 But if  of ships  I now  should sing,  what ship  would come  to me,
 What ship  would bear  me ever  back  across  so wide  a Sea?

I s[Em]ang of l[C]eaves, of l[D]eaves of g[Em]old, and l[C]eaves of g[Am]old there gr[B7]ew:
Of w[Em]ind I s[C]ang, a w[D]ind there c[Em]ame and [C]in the br[D]anches bl[Em]ew.
Bey[G]ond the S[D]un, bey[G]ond the M[C]oon, the f[Em]oam was [C]on the S[D7]ea,
And b[G]y the str[D]and of [G]Ilmar[C]in there gr[Em]ew a g[C]old[Bm]en Tr[Em]ee.

Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone,
In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion.
There long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching years,
While here beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears.

[C]O Lori[Em]en! The Winter c[G]omes, the bare and l[C]eafless Day;
The l[A]eaves are falling [Em]in the stream, the R[Am]iver flows aw[D]ay.
[C]O Lori[Em]en! Too long I h[G]ave dwelt up[C]on this Hither Shore
And [A]in a fading cr[Em]own have twined the g[Am]olden[C] elan[D]or.[D7]

But [Em]if of sh[C]ips I n[D]ow should s[Em]ing, what sh[C]ip would c[Am]ome to m[B7]e,
What sh[Em]ip would b[C]ear me [D7]ever b[G]ack acr[C]oss so w[Bm]ide a S[Em]ea?
