Above the Sea light or short
The Queen has gone from her boudoir!
Her friend is not alive, the Eagle of Anticipation,
Nor never her friends will not rise.

"Under the Mountain dark and tall
The King has come unto his hall!
His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread,
And ever so his foes shall fall."

PS for Evisse - it is not from the Hobbit, chapter 15, by the way

. No, but this one is. LOL!

That's the correct quote, Evisse - though you didn't mention the speaker(s)...

The speakers are the dwarves singing their little victory song.
Now for the next versified roundabout:

Stillness will be on her naked scalp,
The dunes afar from her will dim,
Close by, we heard her weak and foul,
Come crawling like a rat.

a little hint, perhaps?

Famous ballad from LOTR.

o la la. thanks

. as I'm stuck on chapter 15 of the Hobbit, in your recent quizzing you seem to drool (if I may be allowed to use an expression) over Legolas

. So Legolas it is, with the song of Nimrodel:

Quote:

The wind was in his flowing hair,
The foam about him shone;
Afar they saw him strong and fair
Go riding like a swan.
