Is it Celebrian?
Born of gold and silver - her mother was Galadriel and her father Celeborn Linked morning and evening - linked Galadriel to Arwen Freed from darkness but not shadow - She was healed after her ordeal, but the joy of living left her Left love for light - left for Valinor instead of staying with Elrond Reunion was eternal separation - she was eternally separated from Arwen

Absolutely spot on...... Poor Elrond really was torn in all directions wasn't he? Always felt I would have liked to have known more about Celebrian .....

Me too! So much could have been said between the two of them...
Born of love between the fairest, I destroyed my father's dearest. I created a desire, I am a tormenting fire, Still my heart is black. I put the story on its track.

Star-browed, the lonely bride
wept bitterly, admidst the sheep Tree-lord would not home abide; He roamed too long across the deep. An easy one....but rhyming after a fashion......

Is there any other kind?
Yep .... my limited knowledge of Elvish translates Erendis as lonely bride, known as Elestirne because of the jewel she wore, living in the sheep lands of Emerie... Aldarion = lord of trees...

Uprooted and lonely,
Yet a joy to behold, A home for latecomers From the days of old.

this seems so obvious that i'm certain there is some trick here.
![]() but I'll take the bait: Gandalf Balrog's bane, ---- obvious Came back again- ---- obvious too ![]() Twice aided a flight From the forces of night ---- aided the fellowship to escape from the wolves and from the Balrog Person of might ---- obvious Clad in white light. ---- obvious.

Right, I'll go for the less obvious one- was it Glorfindel?
Balrog's bane- killed the Balrog he fought with on the mountain peak. Came back again- was reborn and a part of Elrond's household (though this isn't certain, that's true). Twice aided a flight, from the forces of night- he helped Frodo escape the Nazgul, and aided the escapees of Gondolin. Person of might- described as an Elf-lord of the Firstborn, who has dwelt in the Blessed Realm. Clad in white light- was shown to be 'an Elf-lord revealed in his wrath', when the Nazgul tried to cross the Bruinen, as he was a shining white figure. I doubt this is the right answer, but I must cover all contingencies!

another reason could be Echthelion
Balrog's bane- killed Gothmog, lord of the Balrogs Came back again- the stewards of Gondor took his name, so he was kind of reborn Twice aided a flight, from the forces of night- well, back in beleriand he helped get Gondolins troops back to Gondolin and stalled aganest evil forces in the courtyard Person of might- described as an Elf-lord of the Firstborn, who has dwelt in the Blessed Realm. Clad in white light- Elf-Lord! pretty strong!

Thanks, Mithalwen.
With foilage as dark as the night, Refused to listen to the Darker One in his plight. He fought and retreated, Bruised, but not yet beated. Created a haven, yet lost my wife, Had a daughter yet death took her life. Sundered from father and mother, He is forever separated from his brother.

Perky Ent has it! It is indeed Elrond- foilage as dark as night (Elrond had midnight hair); refused to listen to the Darker One in his plight (he and Gil-galad refused to listen to Sauron when he disguised himself as Annatar).
