The forests along each bank of the Anduin become sparse and then disappear as the Company float south in their Elven-boats. To the west they can now see the plains of Rohan. To the east lie brown and desolate lands.

The great eagle Gwaihir finds Gandalf stranded but alive on the burned and broken summit of Zirak-zigil. He carries the wizard southeast to Lórien where he can recover.

The Company embark upon the Anduin. They float south into lands still grey with late winter as the colours of Lórien recede into the distance. They hear Galadriel far behind, singing in the ancient Elven-tongue.
’Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
Yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!…’

After a feast on the grass, Galadriel gives gifts to the Company.
Aragorn—a sheath for Andúril, and a green Elf-stone.
Boromir—a belt of gold.
Merry and Pippin—silver belts.
Legolas—a bow.
Sam—a box.
Frodo—a phial of light.
Gimli names a strand of her hair. He receives three.

‘…O Lórien! Too long I have dwelt
Upon this Hither Shore
And in a fading crown have twined
The golden elanor.
But if of ships I now should sing,
What ship would come to me,
What ship would bear me ever back
Across so wide a Sea?’

A swan-boat approaches bearing Galadriel.
‘I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold
And leaves of gold there grew
Of wind I sang, a wind there came
And in the branches blew
Beyond the Sun beyond the Moon
The foam was on the Sea
And by the strand of Ilmarin
There grew a golden Tree…’

Having loaded their three Elven boats and received instruction in their use, the Company set out on the water for the first time. They slowly paddle upstream on the Silverlode as practice.

As the Company are packing, the Elves bring them not only lembas but also grey elven-cloaks—woven by the Lady and her maidens. They are the first garments of Lórien ever given to strangers.
The Company start walking the ten miles south to where their new boats are waiting.

The Company are called before the Lady Galadriel and the Lord Celeborn. Will they now travel the west bank of Anduin to Minas Tirith, or the east bank toward Mordor? Seeing their doubt, Celeborn offers Elven-boats. The Company look more hopeful (except Sam) and offer thanks.

Sam still thinks Galadriel should take the Ring. ‘You’d stop them digging up the gaffer and turning him adrift. You’d make some folk pay for their dirty work.’
‘I would. That is how it would begin. But it would not stop with that, alas!’
She leads them away from the garden.

Galadriel laughs. ‘Gently are you revenged for my testing of your heart at our first meeting.’ Her ring blazes with light. ‘In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen.’
She drops her hand. ‘I pass the test. I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel.’

Sam looks in the Mirror: Frodo lying pale and still; trees being felled in the Shire.
Frodo sees a wizard in white; Bilbo pacing; Númenor; then a great Eye searching for him. He looks up and sees that Galadriel wears Nenya, the Ring of Adamant.
He offers her the Ruling Ring.

Sam and Frodo see Galadriel walking tall and fair beneath the mallorn-trees. She leads them to a garden that’s open to the twilight sky, and pours water from a stream into a basin. ‘Here is the Mirror of Galadriel. I have brought you here so that you may look in it, if you will.’

Nineteen days after destroying the Balrog, Gandalf returns to life. ‘Naked I lay upon the mountain-top…faint to my ears came the gathered rumour of all lands: the springing and the dying, the song and the weeping, and the slow everlasting groan of overburdened stone.’

For two days and two nights fire and lightning have scorched the peak of Zirak-zigil. Now, Gandalf finally casts the Balrog from the peak. The mountainside collapses where its body strikes.
Gandalf himself passes away. His body lies without sheet or shroud upon the peak.

For eight days the Balrog has climbed secret tunnels with Gandalf in pursuit. Finally they reach the Endless Stair of many thousand steps, which brings them to Durin’s Tower and a narrow ledge atop Zirak-zigil. The Balrog bursts again into flame. The Battle of the Peak begins.

Frodo laments:
‘When evening in the Shire was grey
his footsteps on the Hill were heard
before the dawn he went away
on journey long without a word
…
He stood upon the bridge alone
and Fire and Shadow both defied
his staff was broken on the stone
in Khazad-dûm his wisdom died.’

Over the past several days Legolas has been spending time wandering through Lórien and amongst its Elves—especially at night while the Company is asleep. Now he has started taking Gimli with him as he explores.

Pippin: ‘What did you blush for, Sam? Anyone would have thought you had a guilty conscience.’
Sam: ‘I felt as if I hadn’t got nothing on. She seemed to be looking inside me and asking what I would do if she gave me the chance of flying back home—with a bit of garden of my own.’

After the Lord Celeborn invites the Company to remain in Lórien and rest, they return to the ground to sleep, where the Elves have set up a pavilion. As the night deepens, they discuss their journey—and the long searching look that the Lady Galadriel gave each of them.
