They should make Jan 3rd 1892 an international public holiday
Happy, happy birthday, Ronald
Niemals zuvor und niemals seitdem
Gab es eine Musik von solch unermeßlicher Schönheit
A wanderer escaped from night
To haven white he came at last
To Elvenhome the green and fair
Where keen the air, where pale as glass
Beneath the Hill of Ilmarin
A-glimmer in a valley sheer
The lamplit towers of Tirion
Are mirrored on the Shadowmere Lay of Earendil
