First time EVER in trying to write Quenya. Any help given would be much appreciated!

Goldberry, River-Daughter!

In a dream she walks,
Hair radiant as the sun,
Her melody plays on river-bed rocks,
Her clothes from gold are spun.
As day turns into night,
Upon the fragrant water,
The lilies float,
The river sings,
For Goldberry, River-Daughter!


Laurëpiucca, Sírë-Yendë!
(translation in quenya)

Mi olórë vantas,
Fassë alcarinqua ve Anar,
Linderya tyalin sírë-caima ondonnar,
Collarya laurello nar carna.
Ve aurë ahya minna lómë,
Venya nénanna,
Nénu lutu,
Sírë lirin,
Laurëpiucca, Sírë-Yenden!


Any help much appreciated!

I like that, especially the 'river-bed rocks' bit.
It's the little things I notice and like.

Very good!
