...Shield Maiden



A warrior maid so sadly bold

Where all the men were fled or cold

All alone on Pelennor field.

Bearing white horse on green shield

Standing her ground there, fair and fell

Defying death and Witch-king;s spell.

Seeking revenge for fallen king

Her long sword on black mace did ring,

Seeking release from hopeless love

Matching bare hand against steel glove.

First she killed the ancient wing;d beast,

Then found help when expected least,

With broken arm she faced the ire

When halfling;s sword struck from the Shire

His northern sword cut at the knee

Lady;s blade sent wraith spirit free

Prophecy by Éowyn fulfilled

Lord of Ringwraiths, by no man killed.
