I just returned from seeing The Battle of the Five Armies with quite a lot of feelings. Suddenly, those feelings translated into my own personal tribute to Thorin Oakenshield, the last King Under the Mountain. This is my first venture into writing for this fandom, so we'll see how it goes.
Enjoy!
-Marcelle
Here lies the king,
In his grave of stony ice.
His crown lies among the gold,
And glistens as such riches do.
Here lies the king,
His men fighting as they always have,
Fighting in his name,
For they know it is in him where their loyalties lie.
Here lies the king,
Free from his woes,
Redeemed from his illness
Which had consumed him until this day.
Here lies the king,
His dear friend beside him,
His enemy at last vanquished,
His kingdom won, so it is not in vain.
Here lies the king in the shadow of eagles.
