What shall we do with him?...
He'll keep following us if we let him go

Gollum

Gollum in the moonlight
Gollum happily presents two coneys (bunnies)
to Frodo for their breakfast

Gollum's Song of the Marshes
The cold hard lands
they bites our hands,
....they gnaws our feet.
The rocks and stones
are like old bones
....all bare of meat.
But stream and pool
is wet and cool:
....so nice for feet!
And now we wish____
(Gollum pauses and wishes for his Precious)
Alive without breath;
as cold as death;
never thirsting, ever drinking;
clad in mail, never clinking;
Drowns on dry land,
thinks an island
is a mountain;
thinks a fountain
is a puff of air.
So sleek, so fair!
....What a joy to meet!
We only wish
to catch a fish,
....so juicy-sweet!

The Orc army sets out from Orthanc
To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed
and barred with doors of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard,
as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war,
to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now,
the furnace roars- we go to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom,
with roll of drum,
We come, we come;
To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!
So the Ents sang as they marched southwards.

Treebeard's Lore of Living Creatures
Learn now the lore of Living Creatures!
First name the four, the free peoples:
Eldest of all, the elf-children;
Dwarf the delver, dark are his houses;
Ent the earthborn, old as mountains;
Man the mortal, master of horses;
Beaver the builder, buck the leaper,
Bear bee-hunter, boar the fighter;
Hound is hungry, hare is fearful...
Eagle in eyrie, ox in pasture,
Hart horn-crowned; hawk is swiftest,
Swan the whitest, serpent coldest...
Treebeard, speaking to Merry and Pip:
"You do not seem to fit in anywhere!"
Pip: "Why not make a new line?"
"Half-grown hobbits, the hole-dwellers."
"Put us in amongst the four, next to Man
(the Big People) and you've got it."

Gandalf Speaks of Galadriel
In Dwimordene, in Lorien
Seldom have walked the feet of Men,
Few mortal eyes have seen the light
That lies there ever, long and bright.
Galadriel! Galadriel!
Clear is the water of your well;
White is the star in your white hand;
Unmarred, unstained is leaf and land
In Dwimordene, in Lorien
More fair than thoughts of Mortal Men.

Gandalf Returns
and brings word from Lady Galadriel
To Aragorn I was bidden to say this:
'Where now are the Dunedain, Elessar, Elessar?
Why do thy kinfolk wander afar?
Near is the hour when the Lost should come forth,
And the Grey Company ride from the North.
But dark is the path appointed for thee:
The Dead watch the road that leads to the Sea.'
To Legolas she sent this word:
Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
'In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea!
If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,
Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more.'
......................................
Gandalf calls
the Rohirrim to Arms
Arise now, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Dire deeds awake, awake, dark is it eastward.
Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!
Forth Eorlingas!
......................................

Lore of the Palantiri
Tall ships and tall kings
Three times three,
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree.
......................................
Bregalad Mourns Trees, Murdered by Orcs
O Orofarne, Lassemista, Carnimirie!
O rowan fair, upon your hair how white the blossom lay!
O rowan mine, I saw you shine upon a summer's day,
Your rind so bright, your leaves so light, your voice so cool and soft:
Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft!
O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey;
Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a day.
O Orofarne, Lassemista, Carnimirie!



Death Song for Boromir
quote from Aragorn:
"They will look for him from the White Tower,
but he will not return from mountain or from sea."
Then Aragorn sang:
Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes
"What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?"
"I saw him ride over seven streams; over waters wide and grey;
I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor."
"O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are."
Then Legolas sang:
From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones;
The wailing of the gulls it hears, and at the gate it moans.
"What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve."
"Ask not of me where he doth dwell- so many bones there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!"
"O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea's mouth."
Then Aragorn sang again:
From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
"What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away."
"Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast."
"O Boromir! The Tower of guard shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days."
