The lilies on the rippling lake

Whose waves a pleasant lapping made

On crystal steps with gems inlaid.

Then roaming through the enchanted ground,

A pleasant hill the Vánar found,

And grottoes in the living stone

With grass and flowery trees o'ergrown.

Through rocks and boughs a brawling rill

Leapt from the bosom of the hill,

Like a proud beauty when she flies
