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

The Fellowship of the Ring
