Wasn't 'up a covert talan' an elvish jazz standard?

Where's that old read-through discussion?
A wonderful list of links to previous chapters in the 2014-2016 LOTR read-through (and to previous read-throughs) is curated by our very own 'squire' here http://users.bestweb.net/...-SixthDiscussion.htm

I do though think it may have been a bastardization of �Up a Covert Talan� - �Up a Lazy River� (as you have indicated), a dirge composed and sung a cappella by Valandil some years after the loss of his father in the Gladden Fields of Anduin Shocked

�. . . the rule of no realm is mine . . .
But all worthy things that are in peril . . . those are my care.
For I also am a steward. Did you not know?'
