| |
| Gil-galad was an Elven-king
| |
| Of him the harpers sadly sing:
| |
| the las whose realm was fair and free
| |
| between the Mountains and the Sea.
| |

| |
| His sword was long, his lance was keen,
| |
| his shining helm afar was seen;
| |
| the countless stars of heaven's field
| |
| were mirrored in his silver shield.
| |

| |
| But long ago he rode away,
| |
| and where he dwelleth none can say;
| |
| for into the darkness fell his star
| |
| in Mordor where the shadows are.
