Glorfindel. It is not Merry. Please don't shotgun the answers :} I'm only counting Merry for Glorfindel, so the others can be posted again, though I do not guarantee their correctness or incorrectness.
Phar, it is not Beorn.

It is not a Barrow-Wight. It has problems going with the second and third verses so far as I see.

No, it is not Shadowfax (not sure how that one even fits :})
A female Nazgul in a helmet? Hmmm,.. but no.
No, it is not the Balrog.

I'll go with Iluvatar for my last guess of the day.
Goodnight!

Correct, Ancalagon :}
Cheers to Glorfindel, who while not posting the answer here, was the first to mention the answer in chat :}

On second thought, I'm passing my turn to Glorfindel, who first came up with the answer in chat (albeit jokingly) and deserves the win. Also my next riddle needs more prep time  |

Thank you : )
And Kudos to Eonwe on that stumper!
Here's one I just came up with, which shouldn't be too difficult:
Birds I tame, and beasts I ride;
With them, not men, I wish to abide.
Wise am I, yet less to some;
On whose journeys I don't often come.
