I think Tolkien was in a word, one of the greats in my mind.
I mean I know people would maybe pick people such as Poe, and Frost, and Wilde , and many others more, but Tolkien was in my mind great at both writting poetry and writting songs.
Yet, I myself have tryed to make melodies from his songs, really I just try to think about what Tolkien was humming at the moment as he was writting the song, but some of them are hard for me to think of a melody thats goes with it.
