That is indeed the end of the verse, eowyntje!

For any interested onlookers: it's from The Song of Eriol; The History of Eriol or Aelfwine; The Book of Lost Tales 2.

Your turn, now . . . carry on!

and after thuder golden showers
came falling like a rain of flowers

It was Sam in Lothlorian during the lament for Gandalf

cold be hand and heart and bone,
and cold be sleep under stone

Cold be hand and heart and bone,
and cold be sleep under stone:
never more to wake on stony bed,
never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
In the black wind the stars shall die,
and still on gold here let them lie,
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land.
