Hear my hammer! Fear my anvil!
I joined the sun and moon to conquer the Abhorred,
And he in mortal death indeed did groan.
Hear my hammer! Fear my anvil!
A cleaver of iron and retriever of peerless light did I
conceive and shape and temper, fit and hone.
Hear my hammer! Fear my anvil!
Who birthed a dragon trumping truly Angband's own?
Know ye and be sure t'was I alone.
Hear my hammer! Fear my anvil!
For I hold great renown.

Where into a mirror he was gazing,
I stand where once did the father,
When he saw that a crown he was wearing,
And he wore it ever after.

Oops! got my wires crossed! I was thinking Celebrimbor with Sauron and the creation of the rings of power.

This is Gimli looking into the Mirrormere, isn't it?

Or looking in it when he was shot by an orc and killed.

A couple more good guesses, but there is one that can fit the riddle even more precisely.

Is it Durin's Stone, set to mark the place where Durin first looked into Kheled-zâram?

Durin's Stone is the answer I was looking for, yes.
