Onodrim
These strange shepherds used to keep
An uncommon bond with their sheep
So much so, one looked a tree
However, meeting one, I decree
Do not be hasty, they do say
This is lucky if you stay
For if you're friend to Tree and Leaf
The Ents share that beleif
Ents who loved the trees they herd
Entwives following the hummingbirds
Sung at length by Elves and Men
The sorrow one couldn't comprehend
They searched far for the Gardens fair
And Entwives, with flowers in hair
But all is lost, save in lore
The Ents will search forevermore
Their majesty differed as oak to pine
Their patience knew no boundary-line
Hasty folk this race was not
Speaking slowly, the whole lot!
A room ba doom away they went
While others waited, their patience spent
An Entmoot takes a length of days
Talking beneath the Sun's bright rays
Circled by the Evergreen trees
Derndingle needs no keys
"To Isengard!" the Ents once cried
To avenge the souls of trees that died
Trolls were a mere shadow of their strength
Those who stayed knew at length
For Fangorn had its own fire
Meeting one could soon turn dire
Had you flame or axe to hewn
By She the sun or Him the moon
Be Orc, or Man, or creature alike
Should you see all Fangorn's might
The strength of trees would surely show
And your life would end with a single blow
