Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.
Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?
An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë,
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë;
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!
Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar!
Nai elyë hiruva! Namárië!

NeldorethThe last two words (Dorthonion and Neldoreth) reminded me of a beautiful song with the verses by Tolkien, 'In the Willow-meads of Tasarinan', sung by William Elvin. Unfortunately I cannot find it on YouTube, and the version I found, sung by Christopher Lee, is hardly a song... but maybe some of you are lucky enough to have the 'Road Goes Ever On' CD with the original interpretation.

the RGEO-version of "the willow-meads of tasarinan" is indeed beautiful John (i had to listen to it right now after what you said).
the Christopher Lee-version is from a cd-box called "the lord of the rings - complete songs and poems" but is not nearly as good, although there are some beautiful songs too.
