Abstract
This is the Ring Verse, a poetic description of the Rings of Power, and a recurring motif within J.R.R. Tolkien’s acclaimed fantasy series initially published in 1954 under the title “The Lord of the Rings.” It consists of three novels: “The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Two Towers,” and “The Return of the King.”
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
—The Fellowship of the Ring
by J.R.R. Tolkien
