Tour 2: The Places of Middle-Earth
The Banks of the Silverlode
They turned a sharp bend in the river, and there, sailing proudly down the stream toward them, they saw a swan of great size.... A music came down the river as it drew nearer; and suddenly they perceived that it was a ship, wrought and carved with elven-skill in the likeness of a bird. In the midst of the vessel sat Celeborn, and behind him stood Galadriel, tall and white; a circlet of golden flowers was in her hair, and in her hand she held a harp, and she sang. Sad and sweet was the sound of her voice in the cool clear air. --FotR, "Farewell to Lorien"

Galadriel says goodbye to Frodo, from theonering.net
'We have drunk the cup of parting,' she said, 'and the shadows fall between us. But before you go, I have brought in my ship gifts which the Lord and Lady of the Galadrim now offer you in memory of Lothlórien.' Then she called to each in turn. --FotR, "Farewell to Lórien"

The Company took their places in the boats as before. Crying farewell, the Elves of Lórien with long grew poles thrust them out into the flowing stream, and the rippling waters bore them slowly away. The travellers sat still without moving or speaking. On the green bank near to the very point of the Tongue the Lady Galadriel stood alone and silent. As they passed her they turned and their eyes watched her slowly floating away from them. For so it seemed to them: Lórien was slipping backward, like a bright ship masted with enchanted trees, sailing on to forgotten shores, while they sat helpless upon the margin of the grey and leafless world. --FotR, "Farewell to Lórien"
