As of recently, I have a new favorite - I don't know if it counts but I really like the Lay of Leithian. A little bit too long to post here, but my favorite lines are:

And thus in anguish Beren paid
for that great doom upon him laid,
the deathless love of Luthien,
too fair for love of mortal men;
and in his doom was Luthien snared,
the deathless in his dying shared;
and fate them forged a binding chain
of living love and mortal pain.
