lyrics

With Manwë dwells Varda, Lady of the Stars, who knows all the regions of
Eä. Too great is her beauty to be declared in the words of Men or of Elves; for
the light of Ilúvatar lives still in her face. In light is her power and her joy. Out of
the deeps of Eä she came to the aid of Manwë; for Melkor she knew from before
the making of the Music and rejected him, and he hated her, and feared her more
than all others whom Eru made. Manwë and Varda are seldom parted, and they
remain in Valinor. Their halls are above the everlasting snow, upon Oiolossë, the
uttermost tower of Taniquetil, tallest of all the mountains upon Earth. When
Manwë there ascends his throne and looks forth, if Varda is beside him, he sees
further than all other eyes, through mist, and through darkness, and over the
leagues of the sea. And if Manwë is with her, Varda hears more clearly than all
other ears the sound of voices that cry from east to west, from the hills and the
valleys, and from the dark places that Melkor has made upon Earth. Of all the
Great Ones who dwell in this world the Elves hold Varda most in reverence and
love. Elbereth they name her, and they call upon her name out of the shadows of
Middle-earth, and uplift it in song at the rising of the stars.
