'''Farewell to Lórien''' is the eighth chapter of the second book in ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]''.
[[Galadriel]] gives the group boats so that they may float down the [[Anduin]]. She gives each of them a gift, in order to help them on their way. She gives [[Aragorn]] a sheath made to fit his sword and a silver broach that holds a clear green stone, the [[Elfstone]] of the house of [[Elendil]]. To [[Boromir]], she gives a belt of gold. To [[Legolas]] she gives a bow strung with elf-hair and a quiver of arrows. To [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]], she gives silver belts with golden clasps. To Sam she gives neither something to keep him on the road nor to defend himself; instead she gives him a box of earth from her gardens, so that when he returns to his barren and desolate home, his garden will bloom like none other. When she asks [[Gimli]] what he wants, he asks for a strand of her hair. She gives him three as well as a blessing that his hands will flow with gold, though it will have no dominion over him. To [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] she bequeaths a small crystal vial in which is caught the light of [[Earendil]]'s star, amid the waters of a fountain. It will be a light for him in dark places and make the night brighter.


The company then leaves and goes on their way. They have chosen a difficult, but a valiant path.

Summary

Galadriel gave the Company boats in order to float down the Anduin. She gave each of them a gift, in order to help them on their way. She gave Aragorn a sheath made to fit his sword Andúril and a silver broach that held a clear green stone, the Elfstone of the house of Elendil. To Boromir, she gave a belt of gold. To Legolas she gave a bow strung with elf-hair and a quiver of arrows. To Merry and Peregrin, she gave silver belts with golden clasps. To Sam she gave neither something to keep him on the road nor to defend himself; instead she gave him a box of earth from her gardens, so that if he returned to his home in the Shire, his garden would bloom like none other. When she asked Gimli what he wanted of her. After much modest refusal, he asked for a strand of her hair. She gave him three, as well as a blessing that his hands would ever flow with gold, though it would have no dominion over his mind. To Frodo she bequeathed a small crystal vial in which was caught the light of the Star of Eärendil, amid the waters of a fountain. It would be a light for him in dark places and make the night brighter.

The Company then left on their way down the river, and Galadriel followed them for a while, singing them a song. They had chosen a difficult, but a valiant path.
