What about the dwarves' song?
Is is about the West Wind? Why is it so bleak? Is it the nature of the dwarves, or of the landscape they are talking about, or is it the wind itself?
Does it simply mean that winter is coming (non-metaphorically), but soon will depart and lead to a new spring?
Is it a history/prophesy of Morgoth/Sauron coming out of the West and then his eventual passing from the world, conquered by the Valar represented by the lighting up of the stars (Varda, whom Morgoth most feared)?
