It's late, but here's my effort:

[For Celeborn and Galadriel]

We two Elves of Lorien are
Bearing gifts for those from afar
Travelers weary, stay and tarry
Here with the Morning Star.

[chorus]
Oh Ring of Power, Ring of Might,
Ring of deadly beauty bright
This weapon dark with Sauron's mark
Would it had never seen the light.

Earth is thine, thou Gardener strong
Though you may have to keep it long
Before the day when thou canst say
This earth shall heal thy homeland's wrong.

A strand of gold I give to thee
Thou Dwarf, so that the world may see
That though your race here may not pass
Yet still I say you may love me.

A captured star I shall bestow
Upon the bearer, who shall know
A torment grim in caverns dim
But this shall aid when all lights go.

Oh Ring of Power, Ring of Might
Ring of deadly beauty bright
This weapon dark with Sauron's mark
Would it had never seen the light.
