For you little gardener and lover of trees, I have only a small gift. Here is set G for Galadriel, but it may stand for garden in your tongue. In this box there is earth from my orchard, and such blessing as Galadriel has still to bestow is upon it. It will not keep you on your road, nor defend you against any peril; but if you keep it and see your home again at last, then perhaps it may reward you.

Then you may remember Galadriel, and catch a glimpse far off of L¢rien, that you have seen only in our winter. For our spring and our summer are gone by, and they will never be seen on earth again save in memory.
