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

@curiousdannii makes an important point. If I wrote the characters sigma tau omega pi, I wouldn't have written the Greek for "stop".

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."

Specifically, it looks like it's English written in the Tengwar script using the Quenya mode (as opposed to actual Quenya written in the Tengwar script).
