The Harad Boy (The Minstrel Boy)
The Harad Boy to the war is gone
In the ranks of death you will find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild bow slung behind him;
This land of death said the warrior bard,
Will soon have conquered all Middle Earth,
One sword, one spear and one bow you'll guard,
For one good shot we shall praise thee!"
.
The poor boy fell! But old Gondor's chain
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The bow he loved never shot again,
For we tore its strings all asunder;
And said "No dwarves or elves shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery!
Thy bow was meant for the Evil Cause
And shall only sound in slavery!"
.
The Harad Boys will return we pray
When we hear the news we all will cheer it,
The Harad boys will return one day,
Torn perhaps in body, not in spirit.
Then may they shoot their bows in peace,
In a world such as Sauron intended,
For all the bitterness of man must cease,
And every free race must be ended.
