Tolkien Poems in the Night

Alastair was drinking his ale when the song began. He listened intently and found that by the niddle of the song his foot was tapping along with the song on its own and before the song had ende he was humming to it in a deep throbbing baritone.

After the song finished Alastair was reminded of a poem he had heard among the dunadain. When the singer had finished his song Alastair drained his glass and stood up. "If I may young masters, I would like to recite a poem." No one said anything and he took that as a consent.

Sadly you walked far from home,
Isildur's bane heavy on your mind
The weight was heavy, the burden great,
and despair was on your mind.
An evil fate, the crack of doom
and forth the world was saved.

With that Alastair sat back down and ordered another ale with the poem ringing in his mind.
