If Isengard fires blacken this land,
Hearts will burn with them to ashes and dust;
Cinder and bone sifted by the White Hand,
If Isengard fires blacken this land.
By a counselor’s voice are the flames fanned.
We must fight onward, for this truth we trust:
If Isengard fires blacken this land,
Hearts will burn with them to ashes and dust.
Simbelmynë blossoms jewel
Sixteen tombs in graceful mourning.
Reminding, ever-white and cruel;
Simbelmynë blossoms: jewel
Of legacy for those who ruled,
And their hopes that died a-borning.
Simbelmynë blossoms jewel
Sixteen tombs in graceful mourning.
Triolets for Treebeard
1.
The woodlands groan with fearful rage
As heart’s anger darkens Fangorn;
The warring Ents will set the stage.
The woodlands groan with fearful rage
In Orthanc, Sharku they will cage.
Destruction soon will break in storm.
The woodlands groan with fearful rage
As heart’s anger darkens Fangorn.
2.
These little hobbits, what are they?
In old lists overlooked somehow
Yet long on earth, or so they say.
These little hobbits, what are they
A part of in these distant days
So late in time? We know them now.
These little hobbits, what are they
In old lists? Overlooked somehow.

By root and stone, by leaf and bark,
We’ll turn his fires into smoke;
He’ll rue the day they lit his dark.
By root and stone, by leaf and bark,
Revenge is due for landscape stark
No more shall wood his fires stoke:
By root and stone, by leaf and bark,
We’ll turn his fires into smoke!
Haldir of Lorien
An elven guard with patient bow;
They passed him by with orcs pursuit -
They were brought in for Lady's show.
An elven guard, with patient bow
And firm but even words enow.
He'd rather have kept them out, in truth.
An elven guard with patient bow;
They passed him by with orcs pursuit.
Elrond
With wisdom, keenly filled with light,
He's mighty among Elves and Men.
He brought them safety in their flight
With wisdom keenly filled with light,
Lifting the waters to great height;
Holding the peace within this glen
With wisdom keenly filled with light.
He's mighty among Elves and Men.
Tom
Who is singing, blue hat feathered,
Cheerful voiced with boots of yellow?
Master of the land and weather
Who is singing. Blue hat feathered,
Against evil darkness gather'd
Stronger songs, this hearty fellow
Who is singing, blue hat feathered,
Cheerful voiced with boots of yellow.
Sam and Rosie
This memory I shall hold dear,
My Rosie, ribbons in her hair -
For even through the pain and fear,
This memory I shall hold dear:
Her laugh alone I'd sometimes hear...
I saw her at the party fair.
This memory I shall hold dear,
My Rosie, ribbons in her hair.
Tom and Goldberry
I sing the ages passing by,
The River-daughter's song returns
To answer mine, and lilies lie
Along her hair, with gold entwined,
We've loved with waters swirling by.
As long as moon and sunlight burns,
I sing, the ages passing by,
The River-daughter's song returns.
For Elrond and Celebrian
My love I'll see, one day again,
To tell her that I love her still;
I heard her sing the sea's refrain;
My love I'll see, one day again.
Her eyes shine in our sons, a-twain
And with her grace our daughter's filled.
My love I'll see, one day again,
To tell her that I love her still.
