Morgoth has quite a temper when he loses though, and he is worse than me. :/ Hmm. That is corrrrrrrrect, anyway. Continue! </p> |

To continue with the song contest: <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)"> <blockquote>Quote:<hr> Grey as a mouse, Big as a house, Nose like a snake, I make the earth shake, As I tramp through the grass; Trees crack as I pass. With horns in my mouth I walk in the South, Flapping big ears. Beyond count of years, I stump round and round, Never lie on the ground, Not even to die. Oliphaunt am I, Biggest of all, Huge, old and tall. If ever you'd met me You wouldn't forget me. If you never do, You won't think I'm true; But old Oliphaunt am I, And I never lie.<hr></blockquote> - enep</p> |

Is it from the Sil? I'm only to Beren and Luthien. (Come on, you can give a hint to a lonely, wretched traveler, can't you? *image of a little starving puppy looking up with big woebegotten eyes, begging for a tiny scrap*) </p> |

That song had to be elvish, and as I couldn't find it anywhere in LotR OR the Sil, I turned the Hobbit. Ta Da!

The wind came down from mountains cold, and like a tide it roared and rolled; the branches groaned, the forest moaned, and leaves were laid upon the mould. The wind went on from West to East; all movement in the forest ceased, but shrill and harsh across the marsh its whistling voices were released. The grasses hissed, their tassels bent, te reeds were rattling - on it went o'er shaken pool under heavens cool where racing clouds were torn and rent. It passed the lonely Mountain bare and swept above the dragon's lair: there black and dark lay boulders stark and flying smoke was in the air. It left the world and took its flight over the wide seas of the night. The moon set sail upon the gale, and stars were fanned to leaping light.<hr></blockquote> That was always one of the more melodic ones. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> - enep</p> |
