It's the Barrow-wight's song.
 
Cold be hand and heart and bone,
and cold be sleep under stone:
never more to wake on stony bed,
never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
In the black wind the stars shall die,
and still on gold here let them lie,
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land.

"his sword of steel was valiant,"

Envinyatar 04-20-2005 10:52 AM

How about this: (A favorite poem of mine)

Eärendil was a Mariner

In panoply of ancient kings,
in chained rings he armoured him;
his shining shield was scored with runes
to ward all wounds and harm from him;
his bow was made of dragon-horn,
his arrows shorn of ebony;
of silver was his habergeon,
his scabbard of chalcedony;
his sword of steel was valiant,
of adamant his helmet tall,
an eagle-plume upon his crest,
upon his breast an emerald.

The Elf-warrior 04-22-2005 05:40 PM

You're right.

aredhelthewhite 04-22-2005 11:17 PM

aredhelthewhite 04-22-2005 11:22 PM

And Whither then? I cannot say

wilwarin538 04-29-2005 04:43 PM

Im confused didnt you just give us the end of the song???? And for the record Bilbo and Frodo both sang it in the fellowship and Bilbo sang it in the King. And is it not Envinyatar's turn???

The Saucepan Man 04-29-2005 07:50 PM

Yes. It is Evinyatar's turn.

Envinyatar 04-30-2005 12:23 AM

A thousand pardons! I had quite forgotten to look back at this thread!!

Try this:

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky . . .

wilwarin538 04-30-2005 03:15 PM

...but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!


Sung by Pippin in the Fellowship.

Envinyatar 04-30-2005 11:56 PM

Exactly!

Please carry on!

wilwarin538 05-01-2005 06:07 AM

Cheers!

Envinyatar 05-02-2005 01:45 AM

A Elbereth Gilthoniel,
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-díriel

o galadhremmin ennorath,
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, si nef aearon!

A "single, clear voice" is raised in song as Bilbo and Frodo leave The Hall of Fire in Rivendell

-- FotR; Book II; 'Many Meetings'

wilwarin538 05-02-2005 05:40 AM

of course, your turn.

Envinyatar 05-02-2005 10:51 AM

Here's one:

The light of sun and star and moon
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night . . .

wilwarin538 05-02-2005 01:49 PM

With golden roof abd silver stone
And runes of power upon the door
The light of sun and star and moon
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night

There shone for ever fair and bright.


sung by Gimli in the fellowship book 2

Envinyatar 05-02-2005 01:59 PM

Well done! And so quick!!

Carry on, w . . . :D

wilwarin538 05-02-2005 02:27 PM

okee do kee

Like rising lark, and falling rain,
And melting water bubbling.


next two lines and who sang it?

wilwarin538 05-16-2005 07:05 AM

I guess you need a hint. Ill give you a little more.

And her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark, and falling rain,
And melting water bubbling.
He saw the elven-flowers spring.


next two lines, who sang it?

arithron87 05-16-2005 08:07 AM

Didn't Aragorn sing that and it's about luthien? But I can't tell you the next lines Gaaaah! sorry.

wilwarin538 05-16-2005 02:43 PM

you are right, but I need the next two lines. :)

Memory of Trees 05-19-2005 06:09 PM

I think it's

When winter passed she came again,
And her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark, and falling rain,
And melting water bubbling.
He saw the elven-flowers spring

About her feet, and healed again
He longed by her to dance and sing
Upon the grass untroubling.


And that was, as arithron87 said, Aragorn about Luthien.

wilwarin538 06-06-2005 05:56 PM

wow, sorry for the wait, yes that is right.

Memory of Trees 06-07-2005 02:44 PM

Yay! I actually got it right... :p Okay, new song:

...above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars forever dwell...


Maybe not so hard... any guesses?

wilwarin538 06-14-2005 05:01 PM

above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars forever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.


That was sung by Sam in the King.

Memory of Trees 06-15-2005 04:47 PM

Correct, of course! Your turn.

wilwarin538 06-16-2005 04:01 PM

Cheers!

Tall grows the grass there. In the wind from the Sea

Enjoy!

Arwen Imladris 06-28-2005 02:28 PM

Silver flow the streams from Celos to Erui
In the green fields of Lebennin!
Tall grows the grass there. In the wind from the Sea
The white lilies sway,
And the golden bells are shaken of mallos and alfirin
In the green fields of Lebennin,
In the wind from the Sea!

Legolas sings this one, I think to Merry and Pippin in telling them of his journey to Minas Tirith.

wilwarin538 06-30-2005 09:32 AM

That is correct! ;)

Arwen Imladris 07-02-2005 09:26 PM

"Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor,
for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever,"

wilwarin538 07-07-2005 05:12 PM

Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor,
for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever,
and the Dark Tower is thrown down.

Sing and rejoice, ye people of the Tower of Guard,
for your watch hath not been in vain,...


An Eagle sang that in the King.

Arwen Imladris 07-07-2005 09:48 PM

Yup! Your turn.

wilwarin538 07-13-2005 03:24 PM

Grey now as tears, gleaming silver,
red then it rolled, roaring water:

Good luck!

wilwarin538 07-19-2005 01:05 PM

Anyone???

Dimturiel 07-20-2005 05:19 AM

I know!
Grey now as tears, gleaming silver,
red then it rolled, roaring water:
foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset;
as beacon mountains burned at evening;
red fell the dew in Rammas Echor.

It was a song made in Rohan about the Battle of Pelennor Fields.

wilwarin538 07-20-2005 04:27 PM

Thats correct, well almost, its actually about the Mounds of Mundburg specifically. But you may continue anyhow. :p

Dimturiel 07-21-2005 02:16 AM

Sorry about that mistake :o. Here is my next one:

West Wind blew there; the light upon the Silver Tree
Fell like bright rain in gardens of Kings of old.

DieZel 07-21-2005 05:57 AM

I think this is easy:
West wind bkew there; the light upon the Silver tree
Fell like bright rain in gardens of Kings of old.
O proud walls! White towers! O winged crown and throne of gold!
O Gondor, Gondor! Shall men behold Silver tree,
Or west wind blow again between mountains and the sea?

Try this one:

Though wind may blow and rain may fall,

We must away ere break of day

far over wood and mountain tall.

wilwarin538 07-21-2005 11:08 AM

Hold on there DieZel. You have to say who sang it and then wait until Dim tells you if its right or not, then you can post your own song.
