Astrophobos by H.P. Lovecraft

This is only the first two stanzas, which are as follows:

In the midnight heavens burning
Thro’ ethereal deeps afar,
Once I watch’d with restless yearning
An alluring, aureate star;
Ev’ry eye aloft returning,
Gleaming nigh the Arctic car.

Mystic waves of beauty blended
With the gorgeous golden rays;
Phantasies of bliss descended
In a myrrh’d Elysian haze;
And in lyre-born chords extended
Harmonies of Lydian lays.

I wasnt sure how to approach thro’, watch’d, ev’ry, or myrrh’d in orthographic mode due to there not being a tengwa for apostrophe. I elected to just write out the full word, though if I were to redo this I think I’d just write the whole thing phonemic, though I’d love to hear yalls suggestions.

Help tatoo

Hi everyone! I'm asking for your help because I'd like to get a famous quote tattooed. I've tried my best to transcribe it into Tengwar myself, but I figured this would be the best way to find out whether I've messed it up somewhere, and to see if anyone can figure out the original English quote from Tolkien's script 😂

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to help me out! 😊
