music: The lord of the rings - the return of the king - the complete recordings - The Grace of Undómiel, OST by Howard shore
it's almost the same as "Twilight and Shadow" from the normal edtion Lotr rotk Soundtrack. (I think only the beginning and the pause in 01:27 is different.)
(Arwen is on the way to the Grey Havens and has a Vision of Eldarion (her son) and Aragorn.)
02:33-03:00: I put the lines Arwen is speaking in this scene in. It's part of a poem by Tolkien; here is the full poem:
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

sung by Renée Fleming.
The song is called "The Evening Star"
Here is the full lyric in sindarin, with English translation:
Ngîl cennin eriel vi
I saw a star rise high in the
Menel aduial,
Evening sky,
Glingant sui mîr
It hung like a jewel,
Síliel mae.
Softly shining.
Ngîl cennin firiel vi
I saw a star fade in the
Menel aduial,
Evening sky,
Dúr, dúr i fuin
The dark was too deep and so light died,
Naenol mae.
Softly pining.
An i ú nathant
For what might have been,
An i naun ului
For what never was.
A chuil, anann cuiannen
For a life, long lived
A meleth, perónen
For a love half given
