[HerenIstarion]

In the willow-meads of Tasarinan I walked in the Spring.
Ah! the sight and the smell of the Spring in Nan-tasarion!
And I said that was good.
I wandered in Summer in the elm-woods of Ossiriand.
Ah! the light and the music in the Summer by the Seven Rivers of Ossir!
And I thought that was best.
To the beeches of Neldoreth I came in the Autumn.
Ah! the gold and the red and the sighing of leaves in the Autumn in Taur-na-neldor!
It was more than my desire.
To the pine-trees upon the highland of Dorthonion I climbed in the Winter.
Ah! the wind and the whiteness and the black branches of Winter upon Orod-na-Thôn!
My voice went up and sang in the sky.
And now all those lands lie under the wave.
And I walk in Ambaróna, in Tauremorna, in Aldalómë.
In my own land, in the country of Fangorn,
Where the roots are long,
And the years lie thicker than the leaves
In Tauremornalómë.

Day after day
Alone on the hill
The man with a foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round... ~ The Beatles</p>

He chanted a song of wizardry
Of piercing, opening, of treachery
Revealing, uncovering, betraying.
Then sudden Felagund there swaying
Sang in answer a song of staying
Resisting, battling against power
Of secrets kept, strength like a tower
And trust unbroken, freedom, escape
Of changing and of shifting shape
Of snares eluded, broken traps
The prison opening, the chain that snaps.
Backwards and forwards swayed their song
Realing and foundering, as ever more strong
The chanting swelled, Felagund fought
And all the magic and might he brought
Of Elvenesse into his words.
Softly, into the gloom they heard the birds
Singing afar in Nargathrond
The sighing of the sea beyond
Beyond the western world, on sand
On sand of pearls in Elvenland.
Then the gloom gathered, darkness growing,
In Valinor, the red blood flowing,
Beside the sea where the Noldor slew
The foamriders, and stealing drew
Their white ships with the white sails
From lamplit havens.
The wind wails. The wolf howls.
The ravens flee.
The ice mutters in the mouths of the sea.
The captives sad in Angband mourn,
Thunder rumbles, the fires burn -
And Finrod fell before the throne.

That's off by heart so I might have made some mistakes, but I don't thnk so <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

That was chanted in the duel between Felagund and Gorthaur.

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever see.

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.

But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door

Over the land there lies a long shadow,
westward reaching wings of darkness.
The tower trembles; to the tombs of kings
Doom approaches. The Dead awaken;
For the hour is come for the oathbreakers:
At the Stone of Erech they shall stand again
And hear there a horn in the hills ringing.
Whose shall the horn be? Who shall call them
From the grey twilight, the forgotten people?
The heir of him to whom the oath they swore.
From the North shall he come, need shall drive him;
He shall pass the Door to the Paths of the Dead.


(By the way, sorry if this is repeating itself, I didn't look a the first pages of this topic...)

Burn, burn tree and fern!
Shrivel and scorch! A fizzling torch
To light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!

Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em
till beards blaze, and eyes glaze;
till hair smells and skins crack,
fat melts, and bones black
in cinders lie
beneath the sky!

So dwarves shall die,
and light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!

Ya hoy!

That is a bunch of goblins with 13 dwarves, a wizard and a hobbit up a lot of trees.

(Incidentally, I recently read a very mediocre article on Tolkien that said that his verse wasn't that great outside of the storyline. What was that person on?)

(I think they meant that if you heard some of them when you haven't read the book, you'd have no clue what they were about - which is true for some, of course - but look at I sit beside the fire and think. You don't have to know the story to understand. <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> )

Re: encantations... ?

Okay, here we go. Sorry about the delay, but I wanted to make sure I got it right. I think this one's my favorite:

In western lands beneath the Sun
the flowers may rise in Sprin,
the trees may bud, the waters run,
the merry finches sing.
Or there maybe 'tis cloudless night
and swaying beeches bear
the Elven-stars as jewels white
amid their branching hair.

Though here at journey's end I lie
in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.

Gandalf, you are straying off the topic. These are singed quotes

As for the answer, that was said by one of the spiders in the Mirkwood.

back to it

The King beneath the mountains,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains
Shall come into his own!

His crown shall be upholden,
His harp shall be restrung,
His halls shall echo golden
To songs of yore re-sung.

The woods shall wave on mountains
And grass beneath the sun;
His wealth shall flow in fountains
And the rivers golden run.

The streams shall run in gladness,
The lakes shall shine and burn,
And sorrow fail and sadness
At the Mountain-king's return!

Is it considered cheating to look in the Appendix with the list of Song names <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> I guess it would be, or this would be no fun. So I wont answer.

Re: back to it

Well, I dont seem to know how to work the Appendixes reference to pages (something like: I, 413) because I have never tried before, but I did find it without much hard looking.

It was the men of the Lake-Town singing about Thorin &amp; Company. <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> I thought it was Gimili singing in Moria at first.

Alive without breath;
as cold as death;
never thirsting, ever drinking;
clad in mail, never clinking.
Drowns on dry land,
thinks an island
is a mountain;
thinks a fountain
is a puff of air.
So sleek so fair!
What a joy to meet!

Re: Sing along...

Correct.

I was going to write down the song that Sam sang in Cirith Ungol, and when I was finished, I looked back in the Forum and found it written 7 posts earlier. <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> Thought I might as well put the only song that Gollum sung.
