This poem could be about any of the soldiers who fought to defend Middle Earth.

"Lament for the Lost Soldier"
When thou rode upon the silver hills
Bask'd in the heavens' glow
I bid them to defend thee with their
Star-tipp'd silver bow
---
My ears did strain to hear the notes
Scatter'd from afar;
The high and mournful melody
Of Battle's calling bard.
---
Heaven did my bidding and
Brought thee to my door
But thy ears still tuned to a distant strain
Of the calling of the moor.
---
Whence went the songs of Glory
From the golden days of old?
Did they shatter on the craggy peaks
Of looming doom foretold?
---
Whither did thou go to on that
High and blust'ry day?
Did the winds pick up and carry thence
My love for thee away?
