is for Aragorn and Arwen, his bride,

In Gondor they do keep watch side by side.

is for Bilbo and Boromir, too

Seduced by the Ring, yet valiant and true.

is for Caradhas, the mountain of snow;

Then only through Moria could the company go.

is for Denethor, Steward of Men,

Whose worth as a ruler I barely can ken.

is for Eómer and sister Eówyn,

Who both find the sword has more might than the pen.

is for Frodo, the Ringbearer brave

And he who alone can Middle Earth save.

is for Galadriel and Gimli as well.

A stout dwarf who is “caught” in the elf Lady’s “spell”.

is for Halfling, or Hobbit, pray call;

Great courage is found in these people so small.

is for Istari, and Isildur the king,

Whose severe lack of judgment began this whole thing.

is for “just a letter” – it’s all this can be.

 Alas, for nothing here doth begin with thee.

is for Khazad-dûm, the great mine in the earth.

It is a place of peril and not a place of mirth

is for Legolas, quite handy with a bow.

To the west, past the Sea, he hears calls to go.

is for Merry, the hobbit so dear,

For love of his friends does he overcome fear.

is for Narsil, the blade that alone

Caused Sauron, the dark lord, to vacate his throne.

is for the One, that must be destroyed;

It is in this mission the nine are employed.

is for Pippin, the mischievous Took.

His brave little heart doesn’t easily spook.

is for Quenya, the elven speech high,

Whose beauty as a language none can deny.

is for Rohan and the Riders therein

And ride they will when they can to the aid their kin.

is for Samwise, who’s got a heart of gold.

Such loyalty in companions one won’t oft behold.

is for Treebeard, old Ent that he is,

Avenged the cruel deaths of trees that were his.

is for Undömiel, the Evenstar fair

Watching o’er her people with such great care.

is for the Valar, the watchers of all,

Who sent the Istari so that none might fall.

is for the Wizard White as Gandalf became.

And for him, I’d say this is more than a name.

is for ‘xactly nothing, for ‘tis all that you’ll find

As Tolkien’s alphabet holds none of this kind.

is for yrch, nasty beings that they are.

The beauty of Middle Earth they are sent to mar.

Is for zany people, just like me,

Who can’t just sit and let a great story be.
