Thrand, although it is a song most elves are taught from birth in my homeland ... I believe there are few songs of greater worth than "The Fall of Gil-galad"

*Placing her swordbelt on the table, she takes a deep breath and begins to sing ...*

"Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing;
the last 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 darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are."

TheFall of Gil-galad ---- Pages 197-198
