Made long ago,-the Tengwar were made long ago
Part of thy previous staves,
Spoken differently by one,
Separated kin.- The elves of Valinor and the elves of Beleriand spoke different versions of the same original language.
Spoken by the jewel,-That would be Miriel, whose name means "jewel-woman"
Spoken by the fire,-That's Feanor, whose name means "Spirit of Fire"
Changed by all else,-This must be the pronunciation part. Does it refer to the change of pronunciation of the Quenya dipthong "iu" during the Third Age?
But those remained as one,
And yet they never met. -I'm not sure about this part.
