Disclaimer: I don't own LOTR. It belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien. I used the actual lines Boromir really said in the book, so that also belongs to Mr. Tolkien.

NOTE: not everything rhymes in this poem. Kinda' slipped here and there, but it works!



The Life of Boromir Is Dead



Out of sight, out of sound

Forever lost

Never found

The life of Boromir

Is dead

Boromir; mortal; strong and proud

Blew the horn of Gondor long and loud

As Orcs rampaged across the land

He and the Fellowship drew weapons at hand

A battle of importance;one to remember

When Boromir fell, a dying ember

Frodo and Sam escaped from the lot

And poor Boromir was finally shot

By Uruk-hai and following Orcs

Armed with blades and deadly pitchforks

Boromir fought with potency and might

Now he had seen the hope in light

He knew he would die…..

He knew he would die…..



Boromir was slain by the hand of the Uruk-hai,

But he died with triumph and glory in his eye

Sorrow is spawned from the sight of his body

At the bottom of the river, dead and rotting

"I have tried to take the Ring from Frodo. I am sorry. I have paid"

said Boromir on the ground as he had laid

"Farewell Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed."

Twas Tolkien's account, the people wail

Then he took his final breath

Behold, he was dead



Remember us now, Boromir of Gondor,

Wherever you are, in paradise down yonder
