Them lit thou madest
Lit and blessed, secure and safe, behind your mighty wall,
Ye, Valar, your ever-green shire the noblest realm have made,
Thanks to the Two Trees, fashioned by nature, watered by grief and with radiance endowed,
Thou, indeed, Queen of Arda, them lit with thy force thou madest.
The Two Trees of Valinórë, subject of many legends and recurrent theme of loss in the tales of old, were given life and beginning by the deeds of the three mightiest Queens among the Archangels: Yavanna sang at the presence of all Valar, gathered in the immense fields of the plain of the Blessed Realm, and thus gave concrete shape to her divine thoughts; the shape of two colossal trees. Nienna mourned for the somber fate which had thitherto befallen and which would have yet to pass, allowing such creation to be nourished by her pure tears, made of grief and of hopeful resilience in the halls of Arda. It was then Varda who gifted her nature to the Trees. Light, the highest of the elements and sole physical remnant of the Timeless Halls. Ancestral dimensions, from whence the Valar themselves had had origin and had sung together the melody of the grand Music. Light is the only vivid testament of that arcane past, that none but the Ainur may fathom or recall.
