Syllabic Rhopalic for Theoden & Eowyn
No battles; unheeded shieldmaiden
Set aside, deceitful malevolence
In golden Meduseld's degradation
Still whispers enshrouded recontrivance.
What plunder, peaceable mortality;
A decay replacing courageousness,
The shadows deepening. Temerity
And brightness forfeited; advantagous
Yet deathly attentions - replenishment
And wholeness, valient confrontation
Here unknown...despairing abandonment
Is declared destiny's confirmation.
Fate cages, silences opposition
Yet cannot encircle eternally.
Lift upward, Theoden! Destitution
Rules instead, repealing infernally
The whispers. Awaken, scintillation
Of heart! Remember monarchical
Just rulings, honesty's revelations,
To restore Edoras remarkable.
Lift upward, victorious!
White Lady, awaken! Encouragement
To embrace; hopefulness recovering.
Namarie Lothlorien
I to the high talen ascend;
foliage curtains
burnished, fluttering.
O, to see lacy light;
sylvan lattice gleaming,
dreamland shimmering.
I so rue this night;
dreamy starlit mallorns
splendour decreasing.
I, as the moon edges
leaves silvery, remember
woodlands enchanting.
O, as day ends elven
voices sweetly praising;
Galadhrim raphsodies.
A so sad dawn waits;
Lorien laments arboreal
homelands forsakened.
I to the aged trees
softly whisper dolorous
farewells; Lothlorien.
