A/N: Okay, so this is the product of moderate boredom while on vacation. Hope you like! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own The Silmarillion. It all belongs to Tolkien.


Weary Stranger

Tonight I met a weary stranger

At his fire by the shore.

His voice was nice and his harp was sweet

So I asked to hear some more.

..O..

He regarded me with sad grey eyes

Through his dark and tangled mane.

He said I might find his songs too sad,

But to me they were beautiful with the pain.

..O..

And so he sang into the night;

His voice and harp never wavered.

Though his musical tongue I did not know,

My heart did wrench and quaver.

..O..

His haunting songs ceased at dawn's light,

So I said, "Farewell, weary stranger."

I was glad to see his amused half smile

When he answered, "And to you,young stranger."

..O..

Tonight I met a weary stranger

At his fire by the shore.

His voice was nice and his harp was sweet;

I'll hear his songs forever more.


A/N: Remember to review!
