For anyone who would like to listen to the Professor reading from The Fellowship (the Ring Verse itself, no less) you will find a streaming MP3 at the following link:

You can also download his BBC radio interview from 1971 at:

http://www.talkingabouttolkien.com/e_tolkien3_docs.html

Also at this site is a file of Tolkien reading Galadriel's poem in Elvish -- hear it as it was supposed to be spoken!!!

I don't know quite what the accent is, but it's not RP, nor is it working class northern -- more of an educated country ("plummy" -- which only makes sense, I suppose).
