Eight little Elves burned ships under the stars of heaven;

One got caught in the blaze and then there were seven.

Seven little Elves using words of stones and sticks;

One challenged a Balrog and then there were six.

Six little Elves fighting for jewels they could not free;

Three were caught in a duel and then there were three.

Three little Elves fighting for what they knew;

One saw the light and then there were two.

Two little Elves sitting under the sun;

For one it got too hot and then there was one.

One little Elf left on the shore, all alone;

He faded to nothing and then there were none.
