"The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was
Of stars in shadow shimmering

Pearl of delight that a prince doth
To grace in gold enclosed so clear,
I vow that from over orient
Never proved I any in price her peer

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew:
Of wind I sang, a wind there came and in the branches blew
Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon, the foam was on the Sea,
And by the strand of Ilmarin there grew a golde...

We often read and written find,as learned men do us remind,that lays that now the harpers singare wrought of many a marvellous thing

He chanted a song of wizardry,
Of piercing, opening, of treachery,
Revealing, uncovering, betraying
Then sudden Felagund there

Farewell we call to hearth and hall
Though wind may blow and rain may fall,
We must away ere break of

Where now is the horse and the rider
Where is the horn that was blowing
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark
