[00:30.000] | We heard of the horns in the hills ringing, |
[00:41.000] | the swords shining in the South-kingdom. |
[00:54.000] | Steeds went striding to the Stoningland |
[01:05.000] | as wind in the morning. War was kindled. |
[01:33.000] | There Théoden fell, Thengling mighty, |
[01:40.000] | to his golden halls and green pastures |
[01:46.000] | in the Northern fields never returning, |
[01:54.000] | high lord of the host. Harding and Guthláf, |
[02:02.000] | Dúnhere and Déorwine, doughty Grimbold, |
[02:09.000] | Herefara and Herubrand, Horn and Fastred, |
[02:16.000] | fought and fell there in a far country: |
[02:23.000] | in the Mounds of Mundburg under mould they lie |
[02:32.000] | with their league-fellows, lords of Gondor. |
[02:48.000] | Neither Hirluin the Fair to the hills by the sea, |
[02:54.000] | nor Forlong the old to the flowering vales |
[03:02.000] | ever, to Arnach, to his own country |
[03:10.000] | returned in triumph; nor the tall bowmen, |
[03:17.000] | Derufin and Duilin, to their dark waters, |
[03:27.000] | meres of Morthond under mountain-shadows. |
[03:37.000] | Death in the morning and at day's ending |
[03:48.000] | lords took and lowly. Long now they sleep |
[04:00.000] | under grass in Gondor by the Great River. |
[04:18.000] | Grey now as tears, gleaming silver, |
[04:30.000] | red then it rolled, roaring water: |
[04:43.000] | foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset; |
[04:54.000] | as beacons mountains burned at evening; |
[05:02.000] | red fell the dew in Rammas Echor. |
[00:30.000] | We heard of the horns in the hills ringing, |
