See here for a nice musical interpretation of the Song of Eärendil.

Thematically, my favourite of Tolkien's poems is The Hoard, which I have memorized in both English and the German translation. It's a parallel of the story of the treasures of Erebor, describing how every owner of the treasure is corrupted and blinded by it, eventually leading to his own doom.
