In Quenya:

Amin ham aru i'naur ar'now en' ilya tanya amin cael'elee, En' laide-loter ar' wilwarinr e'lairer tanya cael'wanwie En' malina lasser ar' maksa e' yavie tanya cael'wanwie, Yassen amrun hisie ar' celeb anor ar' sul deno' adin loske.

Amin ham aru i'naur ar'now en' sut i'palurin tenna' sii' Iire hrive yallume avaene ehtele' tanya amin aa' il ele.

Ten' sal' eller ikotane nir' nat'r tanya amin cael' n'uma elee:

E' il' taur e' il' ehtele' eller barr n'ataya calen.

Amin ham aru i'naur ar'now en' gwaith an wanwie, Ar' gwaith ya ele palurin tanya amin cael' n'uma sinta.

In the Common Tongue:

I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, Of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, With morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think of how the world would be When winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see.

For still there are so many things that I have never seen:

In every wood in every spring there is a different green.

I site beside the fire and think of people long ago, And people who will see a world that I shall never know.
