My land is in decay.
Though not at me their arrows aimed,
They struck me down the same.

My sight was halved, but I could see
What ridicule they've made of me.
Their words are foul and shady,
But I bear them, my lady.

But who am I to so complain?
I see you've suffered no less pain.
They may as well have struck you dead
And put a monster in your stead.
Aye, aye, my lord, that monster's foul,
It's teeth do gleam so when it scowls,
At night it twists its leering head.
It looks like it is living dead.

We both are gone, we both are torn,
But one day we may be reborn,
And in a good land once more dwell,
Although we different flowers smell.
My lady, you're remembered well -
I speak now to your memory -
But I alone in silence dwell,
And who remembers me?


Please answer all the parts of the riddle (or as many as you can, with a proper explanation). Happy riddling!
I'm really not at all sure, but I don't know why Morgoth and Sauron come to mind. The crown on the brow - silmarils on the iron crown. Then that stuff about lands in decay. Mordor. And halved sight, seems like the Lidless Eye with the Palantir. The stuff about the undead and all the Necromancy of Sauron and then funny smelling (stinky) flowers in good lands. "seem fair but feel foul". Morgoth in the Void, who promises to return for the Last Battle.
