Watered down by the Sea
I believe that is the poem Earendel, found in The Monsters and the Critics. The line "kiryasse Earendil or vea" narrows it down a bit.

A disappointingly fast resolution
That's the one. Maybe giving the entire poem made it a bit obvious. To be precise, it's in A Secret Vice.

Staying power
"Though sword shall be rusted,
And throne and crown perish"

ah, one of my favvies
 in the Hobbit, elves do sing a lot of didactic stuff of the kind: The dragon is withered, His bones are now crumbled; His armour is shivered, His splendour is humbled! Though sword shall be rusted, And throne and crown perish With strength that men trusted And wealth that they cherish, Here grass is still growing, And leaves are yet swinging, The white water flowing, And elves are yet singing Come! Tra-la-la-lally! Come back to the valley! The stars are far brighter Than gems without measure, The moon is far whiter Than silver in treasure: The fire is more shining On hearth in the gloaming Than gold won by mining, So why go a-roaming? O! Tra-la-la-lally Come back to the Valley. O! Where are you going, So late in returning? The river is flowing, The stars are all burning! O! Whither so laden, So sad and so dreary? Here elf and elf-maiden Now welcome the weary With Tra-la-la-lally Come back to the Valley, Tra-la-la-lally Fa-la-la-lally Fa-la! This particular lot were hedonists, for sure!

Who's next? I'd actually like to try answer one of these correctly.
