Um, how about the elven people as a whole? Or any people? I don't understand the question, if you mean does it have anything to do with elven people as a whole the answer would be: The book does not specify.
the light of Earendil's star? No, but the you're close.
The Lay of Leithian?No
If not, ist it a Lay? No
The Lament for Gandalf? No
Is it a song? No
Err .... stab in the dark: "In western lands" Sam's song in Cirith Ungol? No
