This is just a bit of Faramir-Éowyn fluff for Valentine's day.
Many thanks to Calenlass for inspiring me to write this pairing and for being a wonderful beta.
Shieldmaiden
--
No maid of more than Mortal grace,
No Elven wisdom in your face,
A gentle bird that fled its cage
And faced the Witch-King in his rage.
--
You gave me life and cause to live;
Yet I have but my soul to give.
O sweetest maid, shrink not from me –
I only want to set you free.
--
Your shining hair a helm has worn,
Your hand a sword, with glory, borne;
Sweet, I am lost! Thus do I yield
To Rohan's Maiden of the Shield.
--
And I have seen the Elven-fair
With darkest midnight in her hair,
With hues of twilight in her eyes,
Above it all your love I prize.
What did you think? Good? Bad?
