Gil-galad was an Elven-king. <br />Of him the harpers sadly sing: <br />The last whose realm was fair and free <br />Between the mountains and the sea. <br /> <br />His sword was long, his lance was keen. <br />His shining helm afar was seen. <br />The countless stars of heaven's field <br />Were mirrored in his silver shield. <br /> <br />But long ago he rode away, <br />And where he dwelleth none can say. <br />For into darkness fell his star; <br />In Mordor, where the shadows are.<br /><br />John Ronald Reuel Tolkien<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gil-galad/
