Walküre:
SCANTY TRUST



--- Zitat ---Of scanty trust we're ever full,
Ploughing soil through calf and bull.
We till and seed on jolly days,
As sun is high to light the ways.

Green brow and country-knoll
Welcome one without the toll
Of blithely passing our lanes;
So comes the guest at autumn rains.

Hobbit-eye they won't bewitch;
Foreign records oft we ditch,
For dreary stories do belong to impervious lands
Whither fools would go and meet the sands.

Nay, we may not live by the time,
Abreast of tidings or noble rhyme.
We rather dwell in peace and joy,
Clear of scheme and nasty ploy.

The sole Wizard we gladly greet,
Who chose these homes as frequent seat.
His pointy hat betokens news
Of distant kings that win or lose.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
SCALES AND BLAST



--- Zitat ---Told in dread is the drake,
Wont to infest and gold unmake.
His breathing fire blunts the stone
Of Dwarven kingdom to its bone.

Alas, ill has run the course of time;
Stained were halls with blood and crime.
Avarice dug so fierce inside,
For gentle wit to turn most snide.

Into the chasm fates have leapt.
Mourned were kings and dames long wept.
Amiable bonds retreat to dullness,
Whence derives in truth no fondness.

Clothed in scales are lethal serpents,
Foreseen afore as devil-portents.
Portend they therefore furious blast
Which is the gate down to cast.

One resides so proud in glory,
And jesters fear to sing his story.
He slumbers lone through dismal wealth
That dwarf-lords weighed much worth their health.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
A WAVE THEY TRIED TO TAME



--- Zitat ---Of glaring bright shone the star
Amid the tides that foamed afar,
Within the rule of the Isle-kingdom
Which seas commanded proud as fiefdom.

Vessels went and came in row;
Waters weren't to halt their flow,
For blues would carry Men beyond
To form with lesser kinds a bond.

Ties they also had with Elves
Of whom they envied lives and selves.
Days were glad and fortunes brought
When witless lands with law were fraught.

Crowned were mighty kings of old
On the Island away from cold,
And safe as well from blazing heat,
Nigh the unsullied Power's seat.

Marine routes they rightly ruled
Until grand lords were gravely fooled.
A wave they tried to tame in vain,
As Ulmo thus reclaimed his reign.

Oceans stirred afoul and swept.
Stormy heavens howled and wept.
Nought was there to avert such fate
Till godly ire was that sate.

Mourn we wherefore the grievous Westernesse.
None should dare of yore the holiness
Which once would lie utter-yonder,
Where Angels then abode in wonder.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
LOST WORK



--- Zitat ---Solemn works they then commenced.
Was their kingdom never fenced,
For joy and faith were welcome token,
Ere had smiths such evil woken.

Crafters were so keen to make
Splendid gems for Arda's sake;
Stones were sited in precious gold,
Thought to aid the fates to unfold.

By cunning mind they were deceived.
Many sorrows they had once grieved.
Willed was Elf and Dwarf to mend
Wounds which ever ages rend.

Marvel done and lords content,
Greatly noble seemed the intent.
Future deeds would prove them wrong,
Bewailing Elves and Dwarves in song.

Holly grew and climbed the riffs
That thenceforth bathed in grudge and griefs.
Mountain-doors were shut to encumber
Swathing gloom and mounting sombre.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
IT SHALL PASS



--- Zitat ---It shall pass, you may be sure.
It shall end, waned to core.
Vicious climes leave the way
Of enslaving long affray.

Rain and fogs give in
To hardly-conquered win,
Spelling ill for Shadow
On the appalling lurid meadow.

Grave were lands dismembered.
Folks had lonely wandered
On the verge of utter ruin
Due to Morgoth's heinous doing.

Wounds shall fully mend;
Foes are not to wend
Their devious way beyond
This our endless bond.

The Hither-Lands are gone
And Elven-kings no longer don
Their iron-graven coat,
While sailing hence on boat.
--- Ende Zitat ---
