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.
