Éowyn, Éomund's daughter
Eyes more terrible
Than any before her
Éowyn, Théodwyn's daughter
Haunted by despair
More than any after
Sister of Éomer
Dreaming of valor
Wife of the Raven
Healer ever after
Éowyn, sister-daughter of Théoden
Weilder of the blade that did
Smite the King's ruin
Éowyn, by the Serpent desired
Resisting twisting words which
Would have her a slave
Cousin of Théodred
Breaking her cage
Scorned by Estel
Of death unafraid
If she loves her people, then she
Is belovèd ten-fold
By the people of Rohan
Numbers untold
For she is fierce, and valient and bold
And fights for what she feels she is owed
Brave maid of the Riddermark!
Walked through despair
To fulfill the prophecy
Few knew she did bear
--------------------------
A/N: As far as I am aware (my elvish skills are virtually non-existant), the title of "Ensinë" means "She is" in Quenya.
Also, this is one of the first poems I've ever written, so please, be gentle (but honest).
