Day is ended, dim my eyes,
Journey long before me lies,
Farewell, friends, I hear the call;
The ship’s beside 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 lengthen as I lie,
Beneath the ever-bending sky.
There are lands beyond the sun,
Which I must reach 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 seek 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.
