Gilthoniel

((Sappiness warning - this is after an old German Christmas song.))

The forests lay in starlit night,
Elbereth Gilthoniel!
To forests under starlit night,
A footfall came so soft and light,
Elbereth Gilthoniel!

The land lay barren under snow,
Elbereth Gilthoniel!
The land lay barren under snow,
For seven years no leaf did grow,
Elbereth Gilthoniel!

Then from the thorns a rose did spring,
Elbereth Gilthoniel!
As Elbereth did softly sing,
