It was upon the hill Túna that the Elves raised

the city of Tirion, with white walls and terraces;

Mindon Eldaliéva, Ingwë's tower there faced

the sea mists, its lamp silver-plating the watery masses.

Few mortal men have ever sailed that far

as to behold the pale glowing from the tower,

its mysterious radiance resembling a star,

a symbol of the Elven immortal carnal power.

The Noldor and the Vanyar happily lived together

in Tirion upon Túna in friendship for a long while,

mastering crafts and arts, becoming wise and better,

away from gruesome trials and fate in Middle-Earth's exile.

The Elves cared most of all for the White Tree, Telperion,

so Yavanna crafted another one for them, smaller in form,

it resembled its image, save for the fact it didn't carry an

option to shine on its own, yet no less loved at home.

In the Sindarin language they called it Galathilion,

planted upon the terrace beneath the Mindon,

it flourished and put forth its offspring to carry on

its legacy throughout Eldamar, while time went on.

One of these saplings would be later borne

to Tol Eressëa, later known as the tree Celeborn,

from it descended the the line of Nimloth, grown

as the White Tree of Númenor, where it was sown.
