Uuh, I've never done this before...
... let's give a try...
Look over the pond: you see boundary and behind it one sheep standing, followed by the first of nightingales  EDIT: I'm going away for about ten days, so you'll have to wait till I come back...

Wild guesswork
At first glance I'd say it's Linaewen. A ewe is obviously there, followed by the first of 'nightingales' (n), but I'm still not sure where the boundary comes from. The whole, of course, is Sindarin for 'Lake of Birds'. One might call it a pond at a pinch.

Wild Guesswork? I'm sure you're dead on, Squatter.
For one thing, boundary could be 'line' (or if needed, 'lin') which fits quite nicely with your answer. |

Yes, that's correct.

It's been a while, but let's see...
Worldly jewellery unsuitable for choral piece.

Bilbo's Mithril coat?
MItril more valuable than jewels and it is mined from the earth Worldly And unsuitable.... for choral piece... oh I got this one the elf king sasy "Bilbo you are more worthy to wear that suit than some that have looked more comely in it" Unsuitable for choral piece or more great persons the greater of course being those in great tales and songs "Choral piece" Mithril Coat

Hmm - not convinced - I think it may be tighter than that. Decision for me is if the "straight clue" is wordly jewellery or choral piece .
Obvious choice for choral piece in ME would be the music of the Ainur but I cannot make the worldly jewellery fit that just now.... If choral piece is cryptic then I think that part of the word "choral" is found in the answer. (Edit but that doesnt work either  ) Off to dig more......
