Strongbow

by LunaTickGalasriniel

Poem from the eyes of Beleg Strongbow, Children of Hurin. May give some plot away- don't read if you don't know the basic story, I wouldn't want to ruin it for you.

Strongbow

Thou'rt my light and I thy friend,

Thy companion, guide and teacher,

Thy consort and forever more

A many faulted preacher,

Oh Victory, I loved thee well,

I have borne thee far beyond,

The once fair lands of Doriath,

And fallen Nargothrond,

And whence did come my shallow death?

A wasted misinterpretation,

My blood spilled upon your hallowed hands,

Uncouth exsanguinations,

But though my heart be lost from here,

My name in memory kept,

Know Dragon Helm did save my kind,

As I the Strongbow slept…
