I think this is the poem you're thinking of. In Tolkien's story, Bilbo penned the poem to describe Strider, aka Aragorn Arathorn's son, who carries the sword that was broken.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken:
The crownless again shall be king.
In the book, unlike the movie, it's Aragorn, not Elrond, who holds the sword in safekeeping.

It's a prophecy for the return of the king. The Rangers of the North were charged with watching for the return of Sauron. Aragorn (the last of the kingly line) was in their number. Needless to say, the wandering Rangers were not lost.
The reforging of the sword of Elendil was also required. Arwen used the prophecy to get her father (who had custody of the sword) to remake the sword.
