Indeed. I kept thinking about Earendil as the flying star at first, and it was the other guesses that made me think broader. It was a group effort.
This one is inspired by the last, but not nearly as tricksy. Enjoy!
The first among the first,
I travelled there and back,
And there again I went
And stayed there till the end.
I missed the slaughter cruel.
I missed the backwards trip.
I missed the heroes' rise,
I missed the heroes' fall,
And strife internecine.
And when I had the chance
To go with honour there,
I passed it to another.
I missed the great revenge.
