At the Grey Havens
Day is ended, dim my eyes
but journey long before me lies.
Farewell, friends! I hear the call.
The ship behind the stony wall.
Foam is white and waves are grey;
beyond the sunset leads my way.
Foam is salt, the wind is free;
I hear the rising of the Sea.
Farewell, friends! The sails are set,
the wind is east, the moorings fret.
Shadows long before me lie,
beneath the ever - bending sky,
but Islands lie behind the Sun
that I shall raise ere all is done;
lands there are to west of West,
where night is quiet and sleep is rest.
Guided by the Lonely Star,
beyond the utmost harbour - bar.
I’ll find the havens fair and free,
and beaches of the Starlit Sea
Ship, my ship! I seek the West
and fields and mountains ever blest.
Farewell to middle - earth at last.
I see the Star above my mast!
