This is not a parody, but something I made up, as you can say, on a stoke of inspiration

. I thought this is the best thread for it, though.

"Wandering Star"

Onen i-Estel Edain,
U-chebin estel anim.
Though I'm not that old, I am dying,
A premature death it may seem,

Yet here I've completed my purpose,
And soon will come my time to go.
My son, you shall be rejoicing,
But I see no light in the woe.

Though I'm not that old, I am dying.
Son, Aragorn, bid me good-bye!
"Farewell, dear mother, Gilraen!
The Wandering Star shall rise high!"

I've given hope to the West-Men,
But for myself - no. I'm too grieved.
And though I have no hope left,
Of love and faith am not bereaved.

Men of Westernesse are also mortal,
Though long-lived and mighty they're deemed.
Onen i-Estel Edain,
U-chebin estel anim.

So? What do you think? I'm not too good with sticking to the rythm, am I?
