It's been... a bit of a week. I tried to do something on about the seventh, but it just didn't come.

Thankfully, this one did:

Once I was young, filled with hope and joy--
Now my face is grim, and all I touch turns to ill.

Once my mother was proud and noble--
Now she is fallen, her grace forgotten.

Once I was the child of a great ruler of men--
Now my father sits in the north, bound and bitter.

Once I had a sister, bright and fair--
Now my sister's name is altered, and woe lies between us.

Once my name was fair, but to change my fate I reject it--
Now - since I was never Turin - what am I called?
