25. Remembrance
Horses toss their heads
The clash of swords and loud cries
Memories like water
Mamluks lumbering
Tasseled thick cloths
Crashing like heavy trees
The march of many feet
Dol Amroth and Ithilien
Aiding the White City
The Eored in full force
Banners fly and helmets creak
White plumes in the wind
The Halfings in armor
Serving the Steward and the King
Valient small warriors
The Grey Wanderer
Lore master, wizard and teacher
Friend to the Halfings
Captain of Gondor
Clashing arms and flashing sword
Fiery warrior
Son of the Woodlands
Swift as eagles and mouse-quiet
Deadly long arrows
Stout-hearted and brave
Lord of the Glittering Caves
Strength in his heavy axe
Hope of his people
Ranger in the northern wilds
Anduril's wielder
Climbing the mountains
Fighting in darkness and gloom
Rescued by swift eagles
The sunset window
Brilliant gold and silver fire
Waterfall tumbling
