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.
