J.R.R. Tolkien - The Rings Verse - One Ring to Rule Them All

This is Tolkien himself, saying the famous words about the making of the Rings of Power.


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.

This is actually Sir Michael Hordern from the BBC Radio version of LOTR, 30 years ago. Hordern was an excellent Gandalf.

Tolkien’s voice was deeper.

[d0dgerdante]

This is not Tolkien. He'd never pronounce Mordor like that

[olioli442]

Tolkien rolled his r's when he said Mordor
