Poems and songs of Middle Earth:

[josiaspereiracordeirosimao]

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

[dylenecymraes]

Ahh, to hear him speak his own poetry, what a treat.

[TheSmart-CasualGamer]

What's odd is that I always think the "How did it come to this" line is part of the poem, but as you can hear here, it isn't.

Im going to be doing a rendition of this as the first video on my channel. Hopefully the ember that starts a wildfire.
