What's everybody's favourite poem or song in Tolkien's Work? My three has to be the Beren and Luthien
Quote:
"The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering.
Tinuviel was dancing there
To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her rainment glimmering.

Enough said, absolutely brilliant.
I also like the Fall of Gil-Galad mainly because of the line 'The countless stars of Heaven's field, were mirrored on his silver shield'
My third is quite obscure, it's 'Shadow Bride' in the Adventures of Tom Bombadil
Quote:
There came a lady clad in grey
in the twilight shining:
one moment she would stand and stay,
her hair with flowers entwining
