Legolas The Elf

A great son
Of An Elven Lord
Cute He was
And Tall And Fair

Came he
summoned he was
To the Council of Elrond
but there was also some news
which was bad to all

Came he to say
that Gollum was freed
Recounted did he
the pursuit in the forests

Learn he did
Of the Great Rings of Power
Amazed he was
For he had never heard it all before

Determined and resolute
he joined the Nine
which was set
Against the Nine

Journey he did
With the Ringbearer
but never was he lured
towards It

Wisdom he had
his words were golden
He could see far
as could his kindred

Stand he did
On Caradhras the Cruel
Listened with intent
The malice of the Wizard

Leapt over the snow
For the first it noticed
that his shoe was light
and his feet were nimble

Good news he bore
of the Sun and the Light
Fought he did
Against the Warg Riders

Went with the Nine
needless it was
to go into
the nets of Khazad-dum

Contempt he had
for the dwarf that was along
the seeds of which
were sown long ago

Many he killed
His bows twanged
Heavens thundered
His arrows always accurate

Troll he downed
And with pity and sorrow
he saw
The spearing of Frodo

Joy was in his eyes
To know the fate of the Bearer
And run he did
To the Great Bridge

There he saw the Great Enemy
OF the Elf-banes
the Greatest
Fear in his heart

There he lost
his friend, the wizard
Cry did he
On the stones of the Dale

Lothlorien he found
tales he told
songs he sung
trees he tapped

With elves he spoke
With Lady he met
White light was around him
Speaking of his kind

A bow he recieved
and a quiver also
full of arrows
ready to gut down enemy throats

Over the River he rowed
Argonath he saw
To Parth Galen he came
And Saw the Breaking

Orcs he killed
Uruks also
With Gimli the dwarf
who was now his friend

For Boromir he cried
Sorrow in his eyes
Arrows he gathered
Riddles he solved

With the Two he ran
over the leagues of Rohan
To Fangorn he came
Which made him feel young

Into the glades he went
Full of surprises met
the wizard was back
And to Edoras he would go

Come he did to the golden hall
of Meduseld
Speak he did
with Theoden the King

To the Hornburg he went and
lost the count to his friend
But he grudged it not
For happy was he to see the dwarf

Then to Isengard he went
Found the two merry halflings
who were what he had sought
who were captured by the orcs

Many a talk he had
Many a tale he listened
Many a riddle he got answers
Many a joy he gave

He took the Grave Paths
Which the Dead took
Without any fear
For he did not the shadows of men

To Erech he came
Saw the Power
Ride he did
Over the green Fields of Gondor

Sea he saw
Gulls he heard
The sea longing came back
to his elven heart

To Minas Tirith he came
Fought the Great Battle
Oliphaunts he downed
Joy was in his heart

He was in the Last Debate
Counsels he sought
Counsels gave
Whatever be the decision, he would abide

He came to the Dark Gates
On the Last Battles
Of his time
And that was won

For the Ring was unmade
and so he witnessed
the crowning of Elessar
his friend

He took the tour
Of the Caves of Aglarond
And then he took Gimli with him
To the Fangorn

And atlast
we heard
that the gulls took his heart
And at the end of the Age
he took away into the West
With Gimli his friend
