Okay, now that I asked my parents what a 'three cornered hat' is called, got the answer tricorn, searched for symbolic meaning, and the dictionary definitions, and then had an epiphany, hear's my new guess:

Hopes are shattered,- Wormtongue's hopes
Dreams awaken,- Rohirrim see their King again
The old three cornered hat is taken.- this, I am assuming means 'old tricorn', which can mean 'three protrusions, points, or horns', and so I get old Thrihyrne, thus Helm's Deep
Expected things are split asunder.-Saruman expected his orcs to win the battle
As they fall completely under.-the defeated orcs either died or ran under the canopy of the Huorns
Out of thought and the depths of time,-the orcs were never seen again
Returning then, sweetly sublime.-the Huorns then returned to Fangorn, having gotten even with the orcs.

My new solution: The Battle of Helm's Deep!
