Shadow and Stone
I hear her still, soft, calm voice in my head
Soothing my worry and banishing my dread
Feelings of insecurity, always not fitting in
Have ever plagued my soul, since I was ten
She looked upon me, from twice my height
She saw my true nature and inner plight
Her gift I shall treasure, more precious than gold
In the light of her presence, my heart, turned from stone
Gimli, Son of Glóin
( The use of "turned from stone" of course has two meanings; his
heart was softened and he embraced the woods)
