amazon.co.uk are doing the whole bbc adaptation for £50......

I think I have an mpeg creater bit of software on my pc. I'll try to copy the poem using that and send it to you, but don't hold your breath!

my apologies barrow consider it deader than the cat from the postmen always rings twice, but back to the topic at hand I have found another poem thats to my liking it is a section of the lay of luthien that is in the silmarillion its about the contest between sauron and felagund.

He chanted a song of wizardry,
Of piercing, opening, of treachery,
Revealing, uncovering, betraying.
Then sudden Felagund thre swaying,
Sang in answer a song of staying,
Resisting, battling against power,
Of secrets kept, strength like a tower,
And trust unbroken, freedom, escape;
Of changing and of shifting shape,
Of snares eluded, broken traps,
The prison opening, the chain that snaps.
Backwards and forwards swayed their song.
Reeling and foundering, as ever mroe strong
The chanting swelled, Felagund fought,
And all the magic and might be brought
Of Elvenesse into his words.
Softly in the gloom they heard the birds
Singing afar in Nargothrond,
The sighing of the Sea beyond,
Beyond the western world, on sand,
On sand of pearls in Elvenland.
Then the gloom gathered; darkness growing
In Valinor, the red blood flowing
Beside the Sea, where the Noldor slew
The Foamriders, and stealing drew
Their white ships with their white sails
From lamplit havens. The wind wails,
The wolf howls. The Ravens flee.
The ice mutters in the mouths of the Sea.
The captives sad in Angband mourn.
Thunder rumbles, the fires burn-
And Finrod fell before his throne.

Yeah, sorry. Most likely none of you have seen me before, but I've been away from the downs for a while and I'm just SO glad to be back!!!

First of all a little promotion: The Tolkien Ensemble are a great group! On their newest cd they have Christopher Lee to sing some of the songs, and yes he recites (is that a word in English?) the 'main' poem... I think they have a song version of it too, but I'm not sure. I'd definetly recommend the group! Oh, and then of course there's another plus: THEY'RE DANISH!!!

Okay, on to the important part

My fave poem is with out doubt this one:

Legolas' Song of the Sea

To the Sea, to the Sea! The white gulls are crying,
The wind is blowing, and the white foam is flying.
West, west away, the round sun is falling.
Grey ship, grey ship, do you hear them calling,
The voices of my people that have gone before me?
I will leave, I will leave the woods that bore me;
For our days are ending and our years failing.
I will pass the wide waters lonely sailing.
Long are the waves on the Last SHore falling,
Sweet are the voices in the Lost Isle calling,
In Eressëa, in Elvenhome that no man can discover,
Where the leaves fall not: land of my people for ever!

If someone has alredy posted this, I'm sorry. I didn't read it all through...

Actually I'm so crazy about that poem that I once read it about 15 times in a row, it made me so sad I sat down and wrote a poem myself... one of the few of my poems I actually like

That's all for me now

Seek for the sword that was broken,
In Imladris it dwells,
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells,
There shall be shown a token,
That doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall awaken
And the halfling forth shall stand.

Ai, laurié lantar lassi súrinen
Yéni únótimé ve rámar aldaron!
Yeni ve linté yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
Andúné pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lirinen.

Si man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An sí Tintallé Varda Oioosséo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortané
ar ilyé tier undulávé lumbulé;
ar sindanóriello caita mornié
i falmalinnar imbé met, ar hísié
untúpa Calaciryo míri oialé.
Si vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!

Namárié! Nai hiruvalyé Valimar.
Nai elyé hiruva. Namárié!
