I'm totally drawing a blank - and I'm not sure any hints would even help me. I wonder if I just don't know the speaker at all.
Anyone else got an idea?

I don't know it, but I may have seen it. Hints, please?

Mkay, I see another hint is necessary.
 The speaker of this quote doesn't say much but is present in many scenes throughout the story of Beren and Lúthien. |

"Not a great speaker"? Not the one who only speaks three times - Huan?

A song/poem this time. I guess that the intro line is the hardest.
"O/_r_f_r_ë/,/_a_s_m_s_a/,/_a_n_m_r_ë/!/ _/r_w_n/_a_r/,/_p_n/_o_r/_a_r/ _o_/w_i_e/_h_/b_o_s_m/_a_/!/ _/r_w_n/_i_e/,/_/s_w/_o_/s_i_e/ _p_n/_/s_m_e_/'/s/_a_/,/ Y_u_/r_n_/s_/b_i_h_/,/y_u_/l_a_e_/s_/l_g_t/,/ _o_r/_o_c_/s_/c_o_/a_d/_o_t/:/ _p_n/_o_r/_e_d/_o_/g_l_e_/-/r_d/ _h_/c_o_n/_o_/b_r_/a_o_t/!/"

In the first 7 lines there are only two mistakes: Twice you say 'A rowan', and in both cases the 'A' is wrong.
In the last 2 lines, 'you' and 'about' are wrong. Otherwise the text is correct. And although this does indeed sound like something that Treebeard would say, he is not the speaker.

"O Orofarnë,/_a_s_m_s_a/,/_a_n_mirië/!
O rowan fair, upon your hair How white the blossom lay!

The names are indeed tricky, I'm thinking I'll be guessing them bit by bit. |

"O Orofarnë,/_a_s_m_s_a/,/_a_n_mirië/!
O rowan fair, upon your hair How white the blossom lay! O rowan mine, I saw you smile Upon a summer's day, Your ring so bright, your leaves so light, Your voice so cool and soft: Upon your head now gilded-red The crown you bore aloft!" I'll try another Ent: Quickbeam?

Line 1: all correct so far, we're just missing one and a half name (yes, that second half of the third name is correct
 )Line 4: "smile" is wrong Line 6: "ring" is wrong Line 8: "now" and "gilded" are wrong But the speaker is that other Ent, Quickbeam! So we're getting very close ...

Let's try to fill in some more letters in the name.
"O Orofarnë Lassamista,Carnamirië! O rowan fair, upon your hair How white the blossom lay! O rowan mine, I saw you shine Upon a summer's day, Your r_n_ so bright, your leaves so light, Your voice so cool and soft: Upon your head _o_ golden-red The crown you bore aloft!" |

All the English words are correct now.
The second half of the second name is correct. The first halves of the second and third names each have one letter wrong. (I guess it's too early to tell you which letter - usually we don't even go down to this level, but with Quenya names, I think we should make an exception )

I was sure I had posted an answer to this, but there is none - I don't know what happened.
Anyway, Lassemista is correct! For the last name, you changed the wrong letter.

If that means I'm working the right letter...
