Upon First Viewing Jackson's Lord of the Rings
Much have I travelled in Middle Earth And many hobbit holes and kingdoms seen; Through many fiction Fangorns have I been Where fans in fealty show their worth. Oft of one wide-spread screen had I been told That glib Hollywood rules as its domain: Yet never did I hear its true refrain Till I saw Jackson's vision, loud and bold: Then felt I like a watcher of the skies When a new star mirrors the Valar's light; Or like brave Frodo, when with awestruck eyes He gazed a Cerin Amroth---so that we might Look at each other with this same surprise, Grateful, upon a peak in Lorien.
