Bright Star

...anyway we was only just settled in camp only just got everythin straight when the order comes down March to Udûn! and our captain’s furious (his bunions was bad) but nothing to be done when the word comes from Lugbúrz is there so we’re all packing up our gear again and the captain’s got his hands on a whip like you’ve never felt before and I’m just hitchin me pack on me back when I look up and the clouds part and I see this shaft o’ light and I think well this can’t go on forever now can it...

We are told they hate the sun, but they could have retained their love of the stars in spite of all that had been done to them.
An interesting inversion of Sam's Earendil moments.

Thank you! Have to confess I'd completely forgotten the whole story of them being Elves originally until you and Lady Elleth reminded me - lucky writer is lucky!
