Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers 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 was seen;
The countless stars of heaven's field
Were mirrored in his shield.
But long ago he rode away,
And where he dwell none can say;
For into darkness fell his star
In Mordor where shadows are.
