Cold reigned the night
The King of Noldor rode on
Now the hope of glory
Forth led him
The King has come
To the Iron Prison
The King has come
His death to meet
The dark clouds thickened
The moon has hid
The cruel time has quickened
My King was slain.
The King has come
To fight the Black Enemy
The King has come
His doom to meet
I am fully aware that the second and fourth stanzas have different meter than the first and the third. It is intentional.
I wrote original not-really-poem in English, then started working on Quenya version. The words were chosen so that the QUENYA version sounds right. Then I finished it to my satisfaction (if you spot a mistake, let me know, please!) and translated into English. The translation is not always literal.
