The Broken Sword -o- The light of Sun, the light of Moon Glowed brightly in the blade The seven stars from Varda's sky Whose shine should never fade -o- The darkness fell with fiery gaze Upon the shadowed land But Sword and Spear in alliance Against its evil stand -o- The broken sword, the shattered light Of Sun, and Stars, and Moon Yet still it has the strength to cut The thread of evil doom -o- The empty throne, the tombs of kings The future becomes past And like a line in secrecy: The shards covered by dust -o- The shadows gather, evil gloom: The darkness stirs again, Over the land, menacing cloud, Dread returns to its den -o- But hand will come to wield the sword Of one with the heart true, And with the Flame of ancient West The blade will flare anew! Narsil: nar - "fire", thil -"white light" referring to the Sun and Moon Andúril: "Flame of the West" ...on its blade was traced a device of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun, and about them was written many runes... Very bright was that sword when it was made whole again; the light of the sun shone redly in it, and the light of the moon shone cold, and its edge was hard and keen. (J. R. R. Tolkien: The Fellowship of the Ring) - poem reuploaded into the collection from B2MeM 2010 |
