Was it in the movie version of ROTK?

Was it in the movie version of ROTK? #15

Agh! I think the answer is
non (that's for you francophiles)
but I'm not positive.

If necessary I'll check tonight and have
a definitive answer tomorrow.

Hint: it has not yet been
established whether the pertinent word or words
are said by Frodo or Sam, and whether it/they
are spoken, a poem, or a song.

Sam's song in the Tower of Cirith Ungol?

Sam's song in the Tower of Cirith Ungol? #16
That's it!

In western lands beneath the Sun
the flowers may rise in Spring,
the trees may bud, the waters run,
the merry finches sing.
Or there maybe 'tis cludless night
and swaying beeches bear
the Elven-stars as jewels white
amid their branching hair.

Though here at journey's end I lie
in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.

Perhaps just the sort of song one would
expect from a great elf warrior.
