Lament for Eorl the Young

Where now is 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?
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 deadwood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

--JRR Tolkien

Thanks for pointing me to this. I'd hate to have It's a lovely poem. Really good to be reminded of. I know that objectively. My problem is I get none of the shivers lately. I just recognize it as nice poetry.

It will come back, I'm sure. At least I hope!

In any event, it's a fine poem. very good to share.
