Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor,
for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever,
and the Dark Tower is thrown down.
Sing and rejoice, ye people of the Tower of Guard,
for your watch hath not been in vain,
and the Black Gate is broken,
and your King hath passed through,
and he is victorious.
Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West,
for your King shall come again,
and he shall dwell among you
all the days of your life.
And the Tree that was withered shall be renewed,
and he shall plant it in the high places,
and the City shall be blessed.
Sing all ye people!
The White Tree of Gondor has a long and convoluted history – it began as a replica of the Silver Tree of Valinor, Telperion, and its descendents included Nimloth the Fair of Númenor, whose seed was saved by Isildur and replanted in Middle Earth. 
 The third White Tree of Minas Tirith was withered, but Gandalf leads Aragorn to find a seedling high in the mountains above Minas Tirith, which he reverently plants in the Court of the Fountain as a sign of rebirth.
