I’ll leave behind the palaces

(Original poem : last stanza of Kortirion among the Trees, JRR Tolkien, 1937)

Words used : palaces, isles, terraces, miles, rings, Kings, content, elms, realms, lament, dwell, spell

I’ll leave behind the palaces

To follow the wind to the isles

And climb over the terraces

Flying over miles and miles

Before the bell flower rings

The sounds that puts an end to even Kings.

And then I’ll rest, content.

I’ll whisper songs through the elms

So those who lament

Can near forest come to dwell

And find there a happy spell.
