O stars that is the Sunless Year
With shining hand by her were sown,
In windy fields now bright and clear
We see your silver blossom blown!

Oh, I found it! It's from the Hobbit:

"The King beneath the mountains ,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains,
Shall come into his own!"

The people of Lake-town sing this when Bilbo and the dwarves are there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"Tall ships and tall kings,
three times three.
What brought they from the foundered land
over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
and one white tree."

It's the poem about the Palantir. In the BBC radio version Gandalf sings it to Pippin during the ride to Minas Tirith. I can't find it right now in the books though... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Guinevere 04-04-2003 12:23 PM

Well done, Elanor! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] your turn.
