Mith gets credit for the narration - I'm only posting it

Lament of the Three Moddesses

Fea:

Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass
grows
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it
goes.
'What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you
bring to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir who is surnamed eighty-eight?'
'I saw him dream prophetic dreams, over long nights filled with fear;
I saw him talk encrypted words to any that might hear.
He passed then into Shadow. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of
Denethor.'
'O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked
afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men
are.'

Mithalwen:

From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from
the sandhills and the stones;
The howling of the wolf it bears, and at the gate it
moans.
'What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring
to me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Seer? He tarries and I grieve.'
'Ask not of me where he doth dwell -- so many bones
there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the
stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing
Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind
sends to me!'
'O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs
south,
But Death came thence with the wailing howls from the last
wolf’s mouth.'

Rikae:

From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past
the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you
bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.'
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There one last foe he
fought.
His blood alone could avenge the two were-wolves he caught.
His skill too great, his plan so fair, he must be put to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its
breast.'
'O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward
gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'
