Tale of The Elves by KeeperofVilya A tale of sorrow, love, hope, and fear A tale that spans many a year. Of kings and rulers, tyrants and foes Heroes and victors, and tales of woes. The tale of Morgoth in evil so dark Who turned from the light and from the mark. Of the Silmarils, the one pure light Stolen away and cast into the night. The battles are told of Lord Sauron. The battle against evil, goes on and on. The death of Gil-galad, last of the high kings And the final destruction of the One Ring. There are tales of Lórien and Rivendell Tales of joy and sorrow we have to tell. Lord Elrond the wise in many of the ways His rule spanned across many a days. Legolas the prince, of Mirkwood’s lands Braver than most, with quick eye and hands. Celeborn the great, strong and wise With sternful face, and watchful eyes. Galadriel the exile, the last one to go By refusing the Ring, her strength she showed. Arwen the fair, gave up immortality For the love of Aragorn, for all to see. Elros of the elves, left that race To become like men, and look death in the face, Tales of Mirkwood, dark, deep and green One of the fairest woods, ever seen. Fangorn Forest, oldest in the land So old few can really, quite understand. Stories of Sindarin elves are told Who refused the Great Journey of old. The Quendi were the first, tis true Of all elven kin, when the world was new. The silvian race, grey elves of the forest In Lorienth and Mirkwood, different than the rest. The Eldar-People of the Stars they’re called Never returned to Middle Earth and are missed by all. Fëanor made the Palantir and Silmaril’s ore Which lead to the downfall of the Noldor. Doraith the kingdom among the oak Home of Lord Thingol the Greycloak. Tales of Norgothrond and Gondolin of old Mighty fortresses of battles told. Beleriand the most ancient elven realm be Alass, destroyed by Morgoth under the Sea. The tale of Glorfindel, one of the last Noldor Defender of Rivendell, and so much more. Haldir of Lórien’s wooded lands Who never saw the sea’s soft sands. Thingol the greatest of the grey elf kings Rumor of his fate, will forever ring. Tales of Thranduil, Mirkwood’s beauty sing Legolas’ father and a mighty elf king Of Forlindon under rule of Gil-galad And of Harlindon, which Celeborn had. The Noldor who sailed over the Sea But never returned for us all to see. The tale of Turgon, Lord of Gondolin Here the line of Elrond and Elros begin. Neldoreth, great fortress of Beleriand Under the rule of Thingol’s hand. So many tales that must be told So many tales that we must hold. Tales of heros and tales of foe Tales of happiness and tales of woe. Places and times past and present People of old and people who were sent. King and Lords and yes Queens too Those who knew what they had to do. So many stories and tales to tell Ones we all know, and we know them well. These make up the history of the elven race History we’ve had to look, square in the face. Tales of splendor, defeat and true love Of times we fell low and then soared far above. It’s a tale of sorrow, love, hope and fear A tale that spans many a year. The future lies before us, ready to see What will happen next, is up to you and me.

Black Riders by Happy_Hobbit Out of the tower of Mordor On black steeds darkness rides Evil flowing around them As they seek their masters prize Over the grasslands of Rohan Screams voices that are fell All who hear them quaver As sorrow falls like a spell They're gather evil about them Driving all hope away Turning to terror any who callenge Fright and Panic hold sway Sweeping up through the gap of Rohan Wave upon wave of fear Feeling the power is closer The thing they are seeking is near Upon the shire a dark hand closes Hate in its frightful grasp Pain and sorrow will fall there now Has HE then got the ring at last? All is not yet over Darkness does not yet hold sway The dark master has been thwarted The ringbearer has bourne it away They follow now ever closer Persuing with all their might Until with a stab in the darkness they seek to put out the light But friends fight there with him They have brought him hither To Rivendell, to elven healers For now darkness has drowned in the river So in Rivendell for the moment The ringbearer lies at rest Though he for the moment doesn't know it To him is given the quest That quest to rid us of evil To drive the darkness away By destroying the RING OF POWER And so bringing Middle Earth a new day

Sam's Lament
by Happy_Hobbit

Here where darkness gathers Here where death holds sway Together we'll wait for whatever For a new Dawn or the end of Days You did not choose this course freely The offer was never yours to make Fate made the decision for you The ringbearer must decicde Middle Earths fate I've watched you through all of your Journey The high points and all of the lows I've seen you suffer the ring Overcomming both fear and foes I've seen you bear this burden Watched as you put others first You sought to lessen their sorrows But it is you that has suffered the worst Slowly you succumbed to its evil It tore you from reason, from friends I followed, It was my destiny to do so To be with you at journeys end Now that the ring is destroyed Now you have finished this task I'll hold you my dear Frodo Until death claims us at last

The Dove
by Happy_Hobbit

You fell to earth A dove with broken wing No longer would you fly above Nor ever sweet voice sing I found you lying Despair in your bright eye Tended you and gave you hope I wouldnt let you die I held you up Raised you on high Gave you back your freedom Cried when I saw you fly Go my sweet Dove Find at last your song For all the love in my heart You're free as you belong

Why?
by Happy_Hobbit

I held a world in my hand, And watched it turn to grains of sand. I saw its light of truth grow dark, And heard the sound of breaking heart. I tasted of its bitter rain, And through me swept a wave of pain. As lies unravelled from the web, I saw my hope break and ebb. And as it grew cold and still, I felt betrayals icy chill. Then with one last desperate cry, I heard me ask the question . . .Why?

The Ring
by Happy_Hobbit

Her perfect form would grace any hand yet she belonged to only one, their bond was special, beyond love, she was his for eternity. In her finest hour she was radient her light shone, but she was cut down, taken from her most beloved. She would not endure this toment, he sought to master her but she betrayed him. Long years she lay cold and in deep sorrow till by chance another found her. He held her up showing her the light and she warmed to him, but one stronger than he also saw her majesty and in the excitement of their first meeting he killed the one who had sought to hold her. They were outcasts now, he took her away to hide in the dark places where they could live together unhindered. In the gloom she claimed his heart. He would do anything for her, even kill. She was his now and yet she yearned to be free for he was not the one she loved, to him only she belonged. Many years passed until she heard His call once more, knowing the time was right she fled from the darkness and was almost free when she was once more taken, she tried to presuade her new suitor to take her home but he closed his ears to her pleading and she remained a prisoner once more. Why must she endure this? she only wished to be reunited with her one true love, she knew he sought her and her every prayer was that he would find her soon. Soon came the time for the journey her old Lover was close and she felt him urging her to seek a way back to his welcoming embrace. She worked her magic and to her surprise found herself on the road heading home. She carefully played the group she travelled with tempting them with her beauty, her power, promising them untold joy if they would but do her bidding, still she was taken closer and closer to her beloved's hand, once more they would be as one. Finally she was there, at the very place she was born, she shimmered in the red light, happy to be home she waited for her one true love to claim her once more. Just as she thought she would be with him she was snatched away angry she tripped the one who now held her, screaming they fell to their doom as the lava claimed her she felt the one she truely loved abandon her. Then she melted in the fires of Mount Doom and was no more.
