The elvish folk were passing bowls from hand to hand and across the fires , and some were harping and many were singing . Their gloaming hair was twined with flowers ; green and white gems glinted on their collars and their belts ; and their faces and their songs were filled with mirth . Loud and clear and fair were those songs , and out stepped Thorin into their midst .
Эльфы передавали чаши из рук в руки и через костры, некоторые играли на арфах, а многие пели. Их светящиеся волосы были увиты цветами; на воротниках и поясах блестели зеленые и белые драгоценные камни; и их лица и их песни были наполнены весельем. Громкими, ясными и прекрасными были эти песни, и Торин шагнул в их гущу.
