What was your fate, Haldir?
We are given so few clues.
Tall and strong and loyal,
Lover of the earth and trees,
Guardian of the Golden Wood.
Undoubtably you fought against
The growing Darkness as it encrouched.
Did you survive the onslaught
As they came across the River
Again, and again, and yet again?
Did you join the Queen of Lorien as she
Led the attack against
The evil darkness of Dol Guldur or
Did Mandos receive your soul to rest
Among the others who were lost?
Or did you shine and vanquish only
To suffer the choice you dreaded,
To leave the home and trees you loved
For Valinor, called Elvenhome, yet
Not your home at all?
What was your fate, Haldir?
We are given so few clues.
Tall and strong and loyal,
Lover of the trees,
Guardian of the Golden Wood.
