   Speaking of 25 March, I ran across this at elvish.org (I   
   can't vouch for how well/badly the book passage is   
   translated):   
      
   No i Anor bennant hae o enedhór i Thoron dhaer reviant o rhûn;   
   a e thung i vereth athan harthad in Rodyn o Annûn, canel:   
      
   Linno hi le, gwaith o Minas Anor   
   dân arnad Gorthaur dungen na-vethed na-uir   
   a Barad-dûr dhannen na-líth.   
      
   Linno a eglerio gwaith o Minas Tirith   
   dân tirith lîn ú-nant pen theled   
   a Morannon vreithannen   
   a Aran lîn athrada han   
   a e 'ellui.   
      
   Linno a lalo le, i-chín Annûn   
   dân Aran lîn allennatha   
   a e dhorthatha im le   
   vi eraid bain in chuil lîn   
      
   A i-'Aladh tharn natha adwain   
   a e 'alannatha han bo said daur   
   a i-Vinas natha galu.   
      
   Linno le bain, gwaith!
