[Лаурелин]

The Fall of Gil-Galad (LotR 1:11)
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.

перевод Е.А.Васильева (*м это или ж - сие науке в мое лице не известно*)
Гил-Гэлад Эльфов властелин,
Страны прекрасный господин,
О ней от моря и до гор
Слагают песни до сих пор.

Был грозен меч, крепка рука
И шлем сверкал издалека.
Звезд отражалась красота
На серебре его щита.

Но он давно исчез вдали,
Пропал как тень с лица земли
Звездой скатился он с небес
И в пасти Мордора исчез.
