Bregalad's Lament [German translation]

O Orofarne, Lassemista, Carnimirie!

O rowan fair, upon your hair how white the blossom lay!

O rowan mine, I saw you shine upon a summer's day,

Your rind so bright, your leaves so light,

Your voice so cool and soft!

Upon your head how golden-red

The crown you bare aloft!

O rowan dead, upon your head

Your hair is dry and grey;

Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled

For ever and a day.

O Orofarne, Lassemista, Carnimirie!
