Thanks!

In this the stars are doomed to die,
With murmured voice I prophecy,
While cold and still the small ones lie,
What is 'this' and what am I?

If this your wonder cannot quell,
Remember ever: Here I dwell!
To wander in forsaken dell,
A ghosted shade with powers fell.

I have absolutly nooo clue, but...um...Earendil?

Bombadil · 04-08-2004, 03:55 PM

im not sure, but possibly morgoth in the halls of mandos?

Firefoot · 04-08-2004, 04:35 PM

"This" could be a Barrow and you could be a Barrow-wight.

I agree with Bombadil about the person being Morgoth; but would here happen to be in the Void, outside the Door of Night?

Excellent, Firefoot. Barrow-wight is correct. Barrow, however, is not. Guesses on 'this', anyone?
