Walküre:
HE WILL PROTECT



--- Zitat ---The unlucky one you shield from ill;
So eager comes your faultless will
At the court of time and fate:
'Tis a daunting gloomy wait.

Kingless rest the ways of Men.
Dreary gets the quiet glen
Which fouler feet now tread in haste:
Gullies die and brooks then waste.

Just fangs and claws to guard the vale
That Sun avoids, to plunge much pale.
The ranks of Shadow walk anew:
A path to leave, grand foolish you!

Unless a force be well reborn,
Shall the kingdom render torn
A creeping wight of man-discord:
We hail a Head! We hail a Lord!

The crownless yearns his land to lead;
His truly vivid ardent creed.
He shan't recoil or throne defect:
His people just he will protect.

CROSSING HEDGE



--- Zitat ---Crossing hedge, amid the reed,
Lurk a wraith and darkling steed.
They move across the haunted wood;
Another sign of vicious brood.

They crawl inside the shade of eve,
Among the lanes which sombre grieve,
For bidden was the restless slave
To rove the soil and dread the wave.

They come from fiendish lawless place.
Without a name; without a face.
Nine Rings they got by snare and guile,
Delaying demise for so a while.

And bound they were beneath the Moon,
These fated ghosts that make one swoon.
They seek a little furtive lad,
Whom sundry griefs shall anguish sad.

Behold, they bolt away in wreathing dust!
Flocks of birds flee swift aghast.
Pray, I wish hereafter luck
For humble folks, in mire stuck.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
MY SUNLIT VERSE



--- Zitat ---My sunlit verse, thou farest far.
Aggrieved my wit, neath omen-star.
Beside the Lords we stout remain,
Content with joy and holy reign.

The Vala sealed his merry country
To save the dearest deathless gentry;
Each peak he raised enormous higher,
A hundredfold, so bade the Sire.

His mighty host hath set a guard
To avert the fell and bar the marred.
No demon shall again besiege
The Immortal Kingdom past the Bridge.

A bridge of mist and potent spell
Thee keepeth stray from hallowed Bell;
Didst thou some honest deed,
To atone in full for creeping greed?

Alone thou art and faithful dost
What oaths decreed, through slaying and blast.
I would thou wert the storm to weather,
Ere hither-shores are sunk deep nether.
--- Ende Zitat ---

I WAGER YOU MIGHT MEND



--- Zitat ---Ah, the queer Abroad you seek to enquire!
Of it speaks oft the blatant liar.
Too fearful Hobbits stay inside,
Recoiling pale at larger wide.

We hear the tale of fainting shires,
That gravely suffer evil fires,
Or valiant wall they set to halt
Whom noble loathe and hail as fault.

The stony kingdom you shall find
Which many trust and bear in mind
As last defender of the earth,
While wishing Men the hoped rebirth.

Dwarven lots are rare to meet;
Likewise Elves depart in fleet.
The latter sail to never wane,
Escaping time and future bane.

I wager you might mend the ill
That now ascends with eager will
To yoke the free and realms invade,
Inflicting wound and wielding blade.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
SHREDS OF CROWN



--- Zitat ---Once upon a glorious age
Used the very worthy sage
To call the North as mighteous one,
By rule of Heir and bravest Son.

A king sat glad in graven throne
Of such a polished fearless stone;
Masons found sublime delight
In moulding ore and shaping right.

Delved were towns and regal halls,
Along with fortress, deep and walls.
No common foe would venture thither,
For bandits quailed; vile weeds that wither.

Yet menace sprang from dreary heights,
Spectral seat of ghouls and wights.
A sword was drawn and shone aflame,
Releasing swarms that order maim.

And cold unchained an ancient fiend:
Herald thence of scourging wind.
Men were stormed and smitten down,
Bequeathing doleful shreds of crown.
--- Ende Zitat ---

**********
THINE ENMITY



--- Zitat ---Thine enmity I treasure
With fondly welcome pleasure
As token of good sign,
To banquet for with wine.

We feast and sing content.
We utter no lament.
We hanker for a dream.
We gravely hurt beseem.

Thine enmity is burden
To wearied guard and warden.
Albeit honoured to resist,
Fain might others us assist.

Dark Lord, thee Men have learnt
To loathe and hate, on regions burnt.
On felon-deeds we weighed thy scheme:
So fool of us thy words to deem!

Thou now thinkest fell indeed
To wake thy gruesome phantom-steed.
Defeat thou sawest plainly clear,
Since Gold accursed thou holdest dear.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
A BECKONED MONSTER



--- Zitat ---In guise of hell, as paled the moon,
Blew fiercely strong a great typhoon
Which seethed across in utter ire,
Boding death for lord and squire.

Soon were sylvan reeds to mourn,
Reduced in ash, by fire worn.
Tried had hands to slay the beast,
That ruin begot along the East.

Darts could nought but sadly fail,
Stayed by sturdy dragon-scale,
And arrows flew in vain to fight
The approaching blast of blazing blight.

Cries resounded, voices rose.
Ills betided all in rows.
Folly took a king for serf,
Ruining halls of valiant Dwarf.

Alas, misfortune did away
With carven stone and chiselled clay.
Therein a grave was dug profound;
A beckoned monster; a flaring hound.
--- Ende Zitat ---

**********
HEED THE MAGE'S WORD!



--- Zitat ---Heed the mage's word,
By dreary wood or ford,
While passing far beyond
The bound you cherish fond.

Advice you need for sure,
For odds are brought to fore,
When sunset stretches long;
When minstrels grieve in song.

Orbs shall wester still
Past silent stellar chill,
And days will fade away,
Though ever not astray.

Countless paths you'll tread,
To darkness bound to head,
Until the air is stifling smoke;
Until the world is all a yoke.

Fear is not to slow your pace.
Courage lives on Hobbit-face.
Fair enough shall deeds befall,
If answered fine this story's call.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
AMARANTHINE-FAIR



--- Zitat ---Forevermore shalt thou rest.
A sleep on meadow ever-best.
Too wild he burnt within thy womb.
Too vast discord was set to loom.

Thine incandescent kin inside
Yearned and flamed alight of pride.
A son thou borest unto plight,
Fated thence to rule in might.

A glaring star was brought to life,
Born from strain; apt for strife.
Of jewels wright he came to be,
Around the splendour-age of Tree.

Amidst the Noon she chose to dwell,
As Varda filled with glee her well;
And Manwë blessed his land secure,
Providing fain to wear a cure.

Yet maids bewailed the Elven-queen.
On green unstained she slumbered clean.
Spent thou art, embalmed with care,
Reposing faint, amaranthine-fair.
--- Ende Zitat ---

**********
BEHIND THE HEDGE



--- Zitat ---Behind the hedge we stay,
So well and safe away
From peril growing bold
And algid northern cold.

Grey and sullen got
This morn and lively lot,
Since darker dreams occurred,
When gaffers dithered bored.

But Hobbits carry still
Their merry busy mill,
And odds import a little
Among good fest and vittle.

Dangers pry outside,
Where vicious spirits glide
Aloft and very wild,
Frightening the mild!

Some gentle Men await
At outer border's gate,
Patrolling lane and brook
With keenest eye and look.
--- Ende Zitat ---
