TRAGEDY OF THE COMMON



Zitat
Common he was, merry as morn,
Seeking new stories to tell, among his folk of corn,
Fancying the unusual and strange,
Yearning the mystery within his short range.

Until fortune had spelt a cruel fate,
From the mud-tainted pond, he retrieved a treasure of hate,
Gold, though ominous sign of grave to befall,
When moon-less night shall have fallen and shadow breached the Good's wall.

SPLENDID GRAVES



Zitat
Deep in the once-sunny Isle of Gift, beneath the sacred peak,
Lay the graves of old kings and queens, entombed with their crown and royal stick,
Below the holy temple of the One,
Which would ever rest unspoilt from vice, bathing Númenor in its noon's sun.

HEAVY BURDEN



Zitat
On thy shoulders are the fates of time and matter,
The fate of earth's deepest, which only He may shatter,
The course and journey of celestial lamps, over whose endless going thou art ever to rule,
Gifting thy power to the whole of us, keeping afar wight and ghoul.

MY, SO DEAR A MAGE!



Zitat
So fond treads he the green way of the Shire,
Drawn to the humble and mere, they say, whom few verily admire,
Bringing with him lots of tales of old,
Of how the world used to be warmer and bold.

FALLEN IN JUST



Zitat
Leading the proud host into the realm of night,
Close to darkness and appalling infernal sight,
The prince faltered not until duty was fairly done,
Many lives were ended, so that right won.

Evil, beleaguered and caught,
Utterly vanquished, for three kings its devils fought,
The loyal guardian of the tower died in ferocious clash, holding his ground as every servant of light must,
Not perished in vain, but fallen in just.

WAILING WOLF



Zitat
Wailing wolf, howling the quick change of all,
Lone, waiting for other solitary wanderers to call,
Witnessing troubles and many wars,
To the furious wind he shouts his anger and roars.

Peace no longer reigns in the wasted North,
There demons woke and hungrily came forth,
Ice grew thicker and iron sharp,
Boreal grief and sorrow shall then tell my harp.

FEAST OF LOVE



Zitat
Joyful join the Eldar banquets and parties atop the Mount,
Whence they ever behold thy craft, so hard to count,
Saints and kings are summoned before the divine crown,
Here they hail their Lords dearest, proud to partake in such godly renown.

Hymns and songs are sung and played,
In the manner of the Light-elf, in whose piety all is made,
Queen of Hearts, sure shalt thou rejoice at that feast,
Sat in the never-ceasing majesty, towering any cloud or sky mist.

AWFUL PRESENCE



Zitat
Aye, that we often recall,
How he crept his way in, vowing to mend and solve,
Old, consumed and spent by vileness,
Mere robes would only cover such great evilness.

A queer guest, come from distrust and peril,
Willing to sow discord as malevolent devil,
Arming himself with naught but enthralling speech,
To live off the good Hobbit's labour, mirroring the wild pestering leech.

ABLAZE, DOOMED



Zitat
Ablaze, thus ended luck for mortal men,
Left by western grace, lured in the wolf's den,
Heeding disgraceful advice from the mouth of shadow,
Departing, heading to the much-longed immortal meadow.

FORBIDDEN TIDES



Zitat
So sets the superb king to sail ahead,
Breaching the absolute Ban imposed by heaven,
Intent to break the sacred alliance which survived an era,
Common blood of common courage,
The finest of bygone ages of yore,
Though fated to vanish in woe, as such had been the epilogue of elder deeds,
Saviours of peoples, revered and feared,
From captors to captives, ruin they had let slither into the wondrous Isle,
Craving life which ever lasts beneath the circles of Arda,
Crossing then the utmost limit, leading vessels to unknown forbidden tides.

BEFORE THEE



Zitat
Before thee are woes to pale,
Before thee we shan't succumb nor ail,
Unto the last hour of bliss,
After which shall the Powers wane and miss.

Such was the fate foretold,
Such was the future that thou wast to mould,
Praying that light will prevail,
Drawing the sword of justice and the shield of law, of great avail.

ENDS OF DAILY LIFE



Zitat
Should one opt for wild and danger-road,
We won't speak much praise or sing an ode,
For ever is the Hobbit advised not to proceed farther,
In the land of lawless and murder.

Strange tale does the wind bring to the ear,
Not bogus story or snide smear,
For peril dwells ahead, out of green and wooden fence,
Far from warm company and merry dance.

HEIRLOOMS OF PLIGHT



Zitat
Treason, the vilest of all!
How goodwill was poisoned and dream made to fall,
Into the pitfall of deceit and sorrow,
Destined to be pitied and mourned in the lay of tomorrow.

Heirlooms of extraordinary nature and scope,
The master of which was forged in secrecy, upon the infernal slope,
Scheme of a cunning guest who just misery willed to spread,
Laying waste to splendour, sparing neither living nor dead.

GALLANT HERO OF OUR TIMES



Zitat
A rare flower of good hope,
Firm and hard as the fabled Elven rope,
Not a phantom of vain desire,
But a flaming spark of lively fire,
One whom folks ignore and know not,
One whom the free hold dear and long sought,
A ranger, come from dim woods and savage,
Set to claim his throne, for this world to salvage,
Contending right and realm against the gathering storms,
Daring the one-time hidden beast, which now fears not war and free roams.

BEST ALLY



Zitat
Best ally, beside thy king,
Best companion, sat in doom's ring,
A queen, loyal and fair,
Far beyond knowledge and snare.

A bond which nought may break,
Not even the deepest abyss or the obscure lake,
Not even the loud fires beneath the earth,
Not even relentless evil, which fighting is ever worth.
