Strictly speaking, it's not Elvish, it's the Tengwar script.

I admit to little skill, but it appears to say approximately "stargazing."
[s][t+a][r][ng+a][z+i][n][ng] (Note that there is no simple "g" sound in Quenya.)
I ruled out Sindarin in favor of Quenya because Sindarin diphthongs place the vowel before the consonant, which would give "satragizng."
