	On the creation of the One Ring, the Smiths of Eregion heard in their minds Sauron's voice reciting the two-verse spell; then they realized Sauron's plans and removed the Rings from their fingers. Obviously this was the basis for the creation of a poem about the [[Rings of Power]] that also contained these lines. It was probably composed by the [[Free peoples]] during the wars with Sauron.
