STUPENDOUS THOUGHTS



Zitat
My, spring has come so sudden!
Relieved will be the heavy burden
Plying the gentle with fatigue,
Who deems it well to work in league.

My, sun rises up and shades dispels!
Morning starts and toll the bells
For the jocund season to commence,
When only fools would part from hence.

Stupendous thoughts glide and billow,
And nourish much the saddened willow;
Acorn, sloe and berry,
To please one's taste and make them merry.

Gaze, foaled is day and happy dawn!
Of sorrows souls are thusly shorn.
Tilling soil in glee
Is very bliss of field and tree.

Abroad nights beseem to stretch
On worsted lonely wretch.
Yet wont we aren't to foreign ill,
Relying sole on fine home-skill.

HITHER-STRANDS



Zitat
On hither-strands of yore
Landed prince and noble dame.
Stained by guilt and gore
Foreboding clash and bloody game.

Evil chose the North as seat
In carven gaol and hopeless pit.
Cold wound coarse along the heat,
Where chains would grip to kill one's wit.

Green and joy lay hidden
In happy sheer plains;
Leaves by dirt were never ridden
Nigh hallowed sylvan lanes.

Near the virgin shore
Awaited mariners and ship,
And able wrights of oar
Revering great the ocean's deep.

Waters howl and foam.
Uncanny fog was laid on waves.
Devils wake from death and roam
Gritted dying caves.

BY THE COAST



Zitat
By the coast we lie
In wistful thought and sigh,
Recalling what had happened once;
Gazing far in writhing glance.

Loth are we to tell
Elder foes and wicked spell.
Prone are we to joyous tale
In days of bright and westward sail.

Homeward steer ships again
Along the course of olden ken,
For a Straight Way carries us across
Past chilling winds that stray and toss.

Others tarry still on shores,
Afar and sound from roaring wars.
Some thus delay their mounting need
To yield at last to Elvish creed.

Aye, still shall remain the anchor.
Nay, we shan't succumb to rancour.
Grey ports rest secure,
Watched by guardian sage and pure.

TORRID ROUTES



Zitat
Are you to venture thither?
Know that meadows sadly wither
Along the torrid routes of heat;
No pleasant lush, no golden wheat.

Thirst and famine blunt one's force,
Sagging vigour for the worse,
Should you find yourself astray
As unwanted guest on untrodden way.

Scorching climes do the rest:
Horrid foe you cannot best
Is ardent weather and broad waste,
Trudging through in frantic haste.

Incandescent realm of peril,
Has your crimson russet beryl
Been the craving of the Vile
Who stomped his enemies with guile.

Aligned you are with foul.
Dreading fiery piercing scowl.
Tribes proclaim their fearsome victor,
Bidding serfdom to the sceptre.

BELYING DOOM



Zitat
It ill behoves one to tell
This mournful tale of old,
Meeting sudden hell
By untidy marsh and cold.

So found his end a prince,
Who jousted brave and proud,
By fangs that grind and mince
Neath dreary sky and cloud.

Around his neck was laid a spoil,
Conquered hard in duel,
Taking toll and toil
On soul ensnared by jewel.

Bereaved Men recount
His sad and deathly story
Begetting fiends that mount
In darkly mode and fury.

Flawless gold then hid,
Belying doom ahead,
Malicious vow and bid
Awaking ghostly dead.

VOID OF HOPE



Zitat
Very keen were sires
On lighting glede and pyres
Inside the empty mine
Where Dwarven-kings would dine.

Masons graved sundry gems,
Delving deep in rocky hems.
A will would kindle hearts to yearning,
Ignoring menace and daring warning.

Precious hoard was wrought
Of treasures great beyond one's thought,
Hewn and moulded well
As fables oft are hence to tell.

Leastways strangers so recall
What was such province to befall.
Deceits had beckoned endless greed,
Spurring lords to eager deed.

Carven halls now lie forlorn,
Void of hope and wholly worn.
Flames have surged from the Under,
Rending lives thenceforth asunder.

IN THE MERRY GULLY



Zitat
I sojourn there and find my shelter
Within the bright merry gully;
Along the vale I'm not to falter,
Clutched by sweeping fright and folly.

Elves abide of old
In glad fashion still,
Healing woes to unfold,
For fields they cure and till.

Passing through the loud ford
Is never chance of wicked guild,
As not relents the deathless lord
Who sinless fortress was to build.

Kind and wholesome as is summer
Stands a keeper fond of guest.
Hover fowls across and yammer
Pleasant tune to cheer the West.

Bereft of labour lodge the folks
That happen thither so to head,
Seeking much to break the yokes
Binding wretches to their dread.

CRUEL PEAK



Zitat
Over forsaken moors in wild
Tower peaks that all beguiled
Into deeming cliffs fairly open
To likely chance well to ripen.

Red ravines and steep dell
Shall the lonesome bard tell.
Snow and slush lie in drift
Which chilling airs heave and lift.

Climbing ones must be aware
Of pending dangers they are to dare,
For the olden mount harbours wrath
To bar the way and seal its path.

Fell voices augur ill;
Winds bite the stone with chill.
Deadly boulders mounts have flung
Amid some blizzards few have sung.

Storms are roused to breathe demise
Upon cold vales that fall and rise.
The Cruel Mountain is gleaming red,
Wont to hammer hope in shred.

THE CREED OF STEEL



Zitat
How may peasants hinder
Many plotted schemes,
As finest men astray meander,
About the blighted rims?

Contrived were plans inside the Tower
To set the world aflame,
So must we rid and scour
The lonely heathland of its name.

Rohan will exist no more!
Choked by fumes and smoke,
Shall the realm burn to core,
Tamed at last and bound in yoke.

Bondage is one fate of grief
Under the Wizard's rule,
Who was of mages chief,
Versed in ken, stars and tool.

Go, my Orcs! Go, my devils!
Raze hay-towns to sheer ground!
Steel is creed of scores of evils,
Which lay the horse-king in his mound.

HEWN HALL AND MIGHTY CHAMBER



Zitat
Carven halls would once rejoice
At prideful sire and his voice,
Warming caves and lighting fires
Along deep mines and mountain squires.

Cloven houses lay forbidden,
Of foreign sorrows gladly ridden.
Hammers fell to mould hard stone,
And Dwarves would thrive so fain alone.

Elves in near kingdom dwelt
Where silver was so apt to smelt,
Crafting gems of ancient Power
To bend their fates and cheer the sour.

Hewn was hall and mighty chamber
Resting dull and dark and sombre,
For fearsome gloom had taken all
In gruesome clutch and evil's thrall.

Yester-roads have grown uncouth,
Roamed by fangs and hungry mouth.
Waters broke across and spread,
Hiding snares that stir much dread.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
