Lindir's Question - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't believe this has been done. Please don't kill me if I am wrong. This is a game that focuses on the question Bilbo asked Lindir in Rivendell. (which verses are mine and which are the Dunedan's?) The question is posted in the form of a poem. The answer: which verses are Tolkiens's and which are the poster's? The responder who guesses correctly posts the next verses.
It might be helpful to others if you were to say where you found the verses. I'll start easy, but I expect this will go way over my head in about four posts, I'm no good at this. Here goes!
She sings and these empowers;
birds, beasts, trees, flowers
Yet one there came to slay, to sting
And there she halted listening
The wolf howls, the ravens flee
And darkness swells; a rising sea
Doom approaches, the Dead awaken
She faltered and her song was shaken
She lightly fled on dancing feet
But doom was swift her fate to greet
And doom fell on Tinuviel
Who's likeness dwelt in Rivendell.

Good Luck!
