Rings, Old Prussian and Jāns Talkāims

Jāns R. R. Talkāims

Trīs prēipirstai per Elfan kunnegans pa dāngus galīmban,
Septinnei Kaūkan rīkimans en stabiskai zālin krōnin,
Newinnei stēimans aulaūwinginin, kwēimans gals palīkitan,
Aīns Timras Waldītaju na tenesse kīrstan trōnan,
En Mordōras tāutai, kwēi timenis lazza.
Šis aīns, kāi rīkaulai wissans, kāi aupallai wissans,
Šis aīns, kāi wissans rīnklai be en timru rislai
En Mordōras tāutai, kwēi timenis lazza.
