Talk:Song of the Mounds of Mundburg
Wasn't this poem written by Gleowine a mistrel of Theoden? --Dwarf Lord 01:51, 25 January 2007 (EST)
- Nope. The LotR says "So long afterward a maker in Rohan said in his song of the Mounds of Mundburg:". Gléowine composed a later song - a tale of the Kings, of Eorl, and finally of Théoden himself. The finishing words are given:
Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising
he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheating.
Hope he rekindled, and in hope he ended;
over death, over dread, over doom lifted
out of loss, out of life, unto long glory.
- Quite beautiful, incidentally, and the quote is easily short enough that we can record it here. I can't do it now - but I should have time to do it about four hours from now. --Narfil Palùrfalas 09:00, 25 January 2007 (EST)
Oh that's right, thanks for reminding me. --Dwarf Lord 11:48, 25 January 2007 (EST)
