gray is wrong - sort of ...
Everything else is correct, and Faramir is the speaker

OK - I wondered - and I always forget which spelling is English vs American.
"I sat at night by the waters of Anduin, in the grey dark under the /_o_n_/ pale moon, watching the ever-_o_i_g/ stream; and the /_a_/ reeds were /_u_t_i_g/. So do we ever /_a_c_/t_e/_h_r_s/ _i_h/_s_i_i_t_/,/w_i_h/_u_/e_e_i_s/_o_/p_r_l_/h_l_/,/a_d/_s_u_/ f_o_/i_/t_/h_r_y/_u_/l_n_s/. But that night all the world /s_e_t/ at the midnight hour." Only time to try a little now - bolded. Got to make room on the computer for my middle one.

Trying just a little more...
"I sat at night by the waters of Anduin, in the grey dark under the /_o_n_/ pale moon, watching the ever-moving stream; and the /_a_/ reeds were /_u_t_i_g/. So do we ever /_a_c_/t_e/_h_r_s/ _i_h/_s_i_i_t_/,/w_i_h/_u_/e_e_i_s/_o_/p_r_l_/h_l_/,/a_d/_s_u_/ f_o_/i_/t_/h_r_y/_u_/l_n_s/. But that night all the world slept at the midnight hour."

grey it is - so that's probably the British spelling ...
Everything else is correct as well

with in the fourth line is wrong, everything else is correct.
In fact, only five words left!

Goodness... 'round'? Does that do it, or are we off with any of the words?

"sad reeds were rustling" and "nigh Osgiliath" are correct
"the /_o_n_/ pale moon" is not round, though.

So we're here on the quote, I think?
"I sat at night by the waters of Anduin, in the grey dark under the /_o_n_/ pale moon, watching the ever-moving stream; and the sad reeds were rustling. So do we ever watch the shores nigh Osgiliath, which our enemies now partly hold, and issue from it to harry our lands. But that night all the world slept at the midnight hour."

We are indeed.
But none of the suggestions so far are correct. Good to see you, though, Midge!

It's so hard to find the right word when the main possibilities in my head are "round" and "moony"...

Time for a hint, rather ...
It actually isn't.

So the word denotes something of the moon's shape, or phase.
But it's not full (round), gibbous, half, quarter, crescent, waxing, waning, new... Trying to think of other words used for those, relative to the moon. And I know when we finally learn it, it's going to be one of those, "Of COURSE that's what it is!!!" things.

You've used more than one synonym for the correct answer now.
