Walküre:
MOCKERY OF PRIDE



--- Zitat ---Hand and chisel mock
Graven stone and rock,
To capture kingly eyes,
As befits the Wise.

Regal frowns command
Virtues that withstand
The epoch running bare,
When sunsets fearsome glare.

Glorious days subside,
Swept by time and tide;
Waning wraiths bemoan
What befell the throne.

Dwelling took a ken
In the House of Men:
The Sovereign shall return
While happy hamlets burn.

Soon will pride enter
The sick woeful centre
Of human marble-core,
Which guarded fates ashore.
--- Ende Zitat ---

**********
WILL NOT DESTROY MY VERSE



--- Zitat ---Mourn thou not,
My kindly lot.
Scar may flame,
Yet never tame.

Thee I praise,
O splendent ways!
Thine is pride
On noble side.

By grand and skilful fashion
Thou grew'st in vibrant passion,
While hands would wreak a treasure
Of wondrous regal measure.

A King thou hast obeyed,
Whose realm once was laid
On sacred merry soil:
A golden valiant foil.

The City ailed afire.
Wring shall I my lyre.
The foul blazing curse
Will not destroy my verse.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
I WAGER IT MIGHT WORK



--- Zitat ---I wager it might work,
Yet even many irk,
Though bounden is the duty
For any chap of pity.

Fare you well, perky fellow!
This your name shall we bellow,
In the time fallen dull,
Which my spirit may not lull.

Hobbits find great remorse
For the deed, augured worse;
Nay, I fathom not the wisdom
In making sudden to the Fiefdom.

What did the Little Folk of grace
In such ferocious sullen place?
If it be to common good,
Well the lad odds withstood.

Fight will mayhap therefore spell
Lay that's really worth a tell,
So long as eager feet remain
Widely firm and ever-sane.
--- Ende Zitat ---

**********
OF FIRE, ICE AND THUNDER



--- Zitat ---Of Fire, Ice and Thunder,
Which realms rend asunder,
Thou heard'st grave and grief
That shatter worlds as chief.

Pain I'm not to assuage,
As devils battle wage;
The only Saviour lieth beyond
The enchanted misty Pond.

Thine honour must repent
To live anew content.
If thou be'st to plead,
Forswear would Princes greed.

Fire shall wear out;
Ice will melt about
The Foe's ghoulish Keep,
Where Thunder rageth deep.

O western Angel lying yonder!
Thou dwell'st unspoilt within thy Wonder.
Thou dost observe with eyes keen,
From Plain and Meadow evergreen.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
WICKED GALE



--- Zitat ---Bare moorlands flail
Winds and wicked gale,
Storming crop and wheat
By the horseman's seat.

Yeomen live in fear
On a peasant's tear;
Troubles have begot
Woes we fathom not.

The White Hand is nigh!
Wolves walk and pry
Along ways uncouth,
Around the brutish South.

Swoon sits the King
Whom betrayers bring
On the edge of ruin:
That's the Wizard's doing!

Knight and rusted sword,
Turned agin your lord;
Outlaws leave unfair
Crowns they're not to dare.
--- Ende Zitat ---

**********
EVER



--- Zitat ---Ever roared the horn of War.
Spilt was blood, dried to gore.
Crude became these pitied Rocks;
Nasty fowls were drawn in flocks.

Hath the Lay woeful beckoned,
For the brave feeble Second,
Whom the story chiefly hurt
And dragged below to soulless dirt.

Ever thundered weeping skies,
Swift the darksome cloud to rise;
Hail and rain have washed away
Countless griefs, of sheer dismay.

First, thou fearest not the wheeling course
Which Time took thence for utter worse.
Yet wide discord hath bled thee white,
For red were stained swan-ports of Light.

If thou wert keen on gazing west,
Much better so it were to best
The Fiend who saith and doth mischief,
Once perished Noon and ancient Leaf.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
SO LONG



--- Zitat ---So long, my green.
How fain I've seen
Your gentle Spring
And russet wing!

O larks! O deer!
No longer sheer
Shall be the Youth
Which prides in truth.

Yet Ruth I bear,
Although in wear
I suffer great,
At heart of late.

Venom blights
Days and nights,
Too deep wherein
I carried Sin.

A last Route
I shan't refute,
To take me there
Where Deathless fare.
--- Ende Zitat ---

**********
FRESHER AIR



--- Zitat ---So fresher air
Might you ensnare,
Within the gem
Of springing hem.

'Tis Hobbit's land!
Some deem it bland.
How fair domain,
Devoid of stain.

To look above
And burst with love
At silky sky
Lying gladly high.

May zephyrs kiss
This homely bliss.
O rutted road!
O simple mode!

The outer folks,
With foolish jokes,
Are envious lots
Of troubled thoughts.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
DROUGHT AND HEAT



--- Zitat ---One league ahead,
One land of dread,
By heatwaves burnt;
Some tales that weren't.

Narrated, then,
Are songs and Men
Re-seeking trust
To longer last.

Battles rage
And herefore cage
Some kings with chain
As hideous bane.

The tribes of South
A cruel Mouth
Now all revere:
The Eye they fear!

Aye, it is
Some blazing breeze
That sets alight
To drought and fright.
--- Ende Zitat ---

**********
TWO REALMS



--- Zitat ---Two bastions in the stone
Hewn fine, strong and lone;
Once thy vessel foundered deep,
Thus to light was brought the Keep.

A keep thou deemest right,
To dare and face the Night;
His phantom rose from waves
And longeth Dark its caves.

In cave was made a Ring
Which minstrels doleful sing;
O valiant human-kind!
Your bane ye seek to find.

To find and vanquish all
By breaching Sauron's Wall,
And Blade and Lance await
Their grievous ending fate.

My Man and Elf of Good,
Ye warred and proudly stood
Agin the firing Peak
That was your doom to wreak.

O deathly sealike Lord,
Thou fled'st in pain aboard
Thy mourning alder-ship,
As Ulmo wound his Whip.

Thine Heirs were not to yield,
When oceans sank the Field;
In sullied lands now tower
Two Realms, Tree, and Flower.
