It was originally called The Voyage of Éarendel the Evening Star, as well as an Old English version called Scipfæreld Earendeles Æfensteorran, and then the title it is now.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. II: The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, V: "The Tale of Eärendel"
==First stanza==
:Éarendel arose where the shadow flows
::At Ocean's silent brim;
:Through the mouth of night as a ray of light
::Where the shores are sheer and dim
:He launched his bark like a silver spark
::From the last and lonely sand;
:Then on sunlit breath of a day's fiery death
::He sailed from Westerland.
