Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone,Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throneIn the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

This quote is from the famous novel by J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. It explains the one, powerful Ring of Power that was made by the Dark Lord, Sauron. This ring has magical abilities and can control all of the other rings created in Middle Earth. The first line of the quote states that there were 3 rings for the Elven-kings, 7 for the Dwarf-lords and 9 for Mortal Men, all of whom were doomed to die. The famous line, “One Ring to rule them all,” explains that even though these other rings had different powers, they were all controlled by the One Ring. The final line of the quote, “One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,” explains that the One Ring can control all the other rings, holding their power and binding them all together. This line is repeated at the end of the quote to emphasis the powerful message it contains. The Land of Mordor is where Sauron currently lives and this is where the Ring is hidden, surrounded by shadows.
