This is as far as you've got:
To the pine-trees upon the highland of Dorthonion I climbed /_n the /W_n_e_/. Ah! the wind and the /_h_t_n_s_/ and the black /_r_n_h_s/ of Winter upon /_r_d/-/_a/-/_h_n/!/ My voice went up and sang in the sky. Only the "on" in "I climbed on" was wrong. I've bolded it, and I've also bolded the capital W in Winter, as the speaker uses the capital initial in that word. Good going so far!

"To the pine-trees upon the highland of Dorthonion
I climbed in the Winter. Ah! the wind and the whiteness and the black branches of Winter upon /_r_d/-/_a/-/_h_n/!/ My voice went up and sang in the sky." That unsolved part with the hyphens looks like the other name for Dorthonion - or the forest there, perhaps? I'm not sure though - and not really good with my Quenya (if that's what it is). Not sure of the speaker. It doesn't sound like him, but because of the locale, I'll go with Beren...???

I can't think of any Quenya that fits, either. The hyphenating is more typically Sindarin, and Dorthonion was later called Taur-nu-Fuin (is that the name you're thinking of, Valandil?), but that doesn't fit the gaps we have, and it would be odd for a speaker to be using both names as they're from different time periods.

Hmm. I have a vague memory... Ered-na-thon?

Valandil's additions are correct. But the speaker is not Beren.
-na-Thôn is correct, but Ered isn't - but you're certainly thinking along the right lines, Eärniel ... I must admit that I don't know either what language it is nor what it means. Perhaps we can find out once you've worked out the correct name?

Certainly has an Entish feel to it, so I'm guessing Treebeard.
As for the missing part not being Ered, well I'm stumped then. Unless it's the singular form of mountain, Ered is plural, I vaguel recall. The trouble is I can't recall the singular if that's what we're looking for. EDIT: Oh hey 13 000th post! awesome.

Not Arad either, but you are also thinking along the right lines! Sorry that I haven't looked up the meaning, that might have helped. Maybe tomorrow ...
It is indeed Entish, and spoken by Treebeard! He spoke it long after he had last seen Dorthonion, though ...

For the less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may accomplish but once only;

Mandos said. Always thought that was a quite chilling statement. I bet Fëanor, for that is he speaking, was a bit miffed he did not get to be the first. Always wanted to come first, the selfish bugger, he was. Great artist, though.

It may be that I can unlock my jewels, but never again shall I make their like;
Great artist indeed. And one of the Valar said, "You don't know what you're asking of him" (probably said by Aulë, who would be most likely to know).

All correct! Varna, your turn!

'I shall be slain, second of all the Eldar in Aman,' doesn't carry quite the same dramatic weight. Of course, that would be before he found out who the first was.
