TELCONTAR
(JRRT:LotR1:I ch.10)
translated by Petri Tikka  

Laurea ilqua lá rilya,
Lá vanwa i ranya ilquen;
I yára i turca lá píca,
Lá hirna nur-talmar nixenen.
Litselillor nár cuivana nauva,
Huinellor cal tuiyuva san;
I rácina maic' envinyanta,
Úrína ennauva aran.

All that is gold does not glitter, 
Not all those who wander are lost; 
The old that is strong does not wither, 
Deep roots are not reached by the frost. 
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, 
A light from the shadows shall spring; 
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
