De glans van zilver sterrenlicht, weerschijn in spiegelmeren, zal elke elf, en mens wellicht, zielslief als mooi waarderen. |

Rhyme and picture idea for this tengwa contributed by Ránatar/Maivandion on VL, who also provided a translation into Russian:
|
Эльфы любят звёздный свет - Серебра прекрасней нет. На зеркальных на озёрах Блеск его ничтожит ссоры. |
Elves love starlight - there is no finer silver. On mirror lakes its brilliance destroys quarrels. |
Intended picture: top point of SILME is the star emitting a ray to the round lake. Provisional picture by chaered: stars and reflections on a round lake.
