Here's a short poem I came up with during biology and finished at home. Hope you like :D
Notes:
Atalantë ("The Downfallen") - The name of Númenor after its fall.
Oiolairë - One of the fragrant trees of Númenor; by tradition a bough cut from this tree was attached to the prows of Númenóreans' ships setting out on journeys of exploration, to ensure a safe return.
Fëa - sou
The fall of Númenor
The land of long forgotten suns,
In ruins lay her towers,
Darkness swallowed up her sons,
Their graves covered in flowers.
.
No wind shall guide the mighty sails,
No moon shall lead the way,
The glory of the kingdom pales,
For there is naught to say.
.
When Annatar comes, fair and fine,
The White Tree crumbles, burnt,
To Morgoth they erect a shrine,
Three fell kings are turned.
.
The seven seeing-stones are lost,
As Sauron spreads his lies,
Oiolairë leaves, burnt by frost,
The last Edain king dies.
.
Starlight fades from haunted eyes,
For they have been betrayed,
Bright Fëa to the heaven flies,
And in its hands, a blade.
.
Now, only the three remain,
To watch Atalantë fall,
Enslaved through rings, anguish and pain,
In shadows they now crawl.
.
Of these dark and sullen times,
The Akallabêth sings,
Its song of mourning steeply climbs,
The pendulum still swings.
