It now reads:
'_ O / Y O U / N O T / K N O _ / _ E _ T _ / _ H E N / Y O U / _ E E / _ T , O L _ / _ _ N? T H _ _ / _ _ / _ Y / H O U _!'
Correct letters: H, N, T, Y, L, E, O, K, U
Incorrect letters:
It should be fairly easy to guess now...

Do you not know death when you see it, old man? This is my hour.
Yes, Undomiel got it right! She gets the next puzzle.
I go first with a guess of an I
She hasn't posted the puzzle yet, Gimli! 
I'll guess K.
...
And H
And an A!

Do you need clue for this one?

Well this is a linnod.
One of our rules is to allow the guessing of one letter each before the next puzzle is ever posted. This remains a good rule and allows us to keep the game moving in case the puzzle poster gets to the thread later in the day or the next day, saving time. 
Undomiel: Please check the guesses between your above correct answer and your puzzle. Then place any correct guesses in it. We were waiting for your rulings, rather than ignoring your puzzle.
I will guess there is at least one L in the puzzle please.

Okay Undomiel, now rule on the above pre-guesses: Gimli's I, Eruheran's K, and Sian's A. You may ignore Eruheran's H as we only get one guess per round.
Thanks.
And I will guess an N next.

Is there an R in your Elven chant?

Maybe a D, please.
Any Ws?

No R Fornac.
Nor a G Eruheran
No R Fornac.
Nor a G Eruheran
Guess on I did not dare to think this would take so long to guess!!
Maybe my lack of promptness might be the reason behind it!

I can't believe an E hasn't already been guessed, so that's my guess.
Good one Fornac. You sound the death knell for my question.

You know you were not right about it being an elvish chant though!

I'll guess there is at least one W.
I know what it is...
But I don't want the next question.

No W Grondy. Are you seriously not getting the quote? (Unbelievable).
Hey Fornac, if you know it why not answer and relieve me of the burden of typing in as each one of you spell out each letter.

Here's a massive few hints:
It's in Elvish, it was spoken by a woman who died before the events of LotR, and she's related to one of the main characters of the aforementioned books.

Fornac's hint is right!!
Any guesses??

Okay, it is Gilrain's last words to Aragorn, her son:
Onen i-Estel Edain, ’-chebin estel anim.
The translation of which is 'I gave hope to the D’nedain, I have kept no hope for myself.' This is found in Appendix A at the end of LotR and RotK in Part (v), a part of the tale of Aragorn and Arwen.

Sorry,
there is nary a B in my puzzle.
