Aragorn's Verse

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

hobbit?' asked Sam, scratching his neck.

Lightning at Weathertop
 
    As Frodo lay, tired but unable to close his eyes, it seemed to
    him that far away there came a light in the eastern sky;
    it flashed and faded many times.  It was not the dawn,
    for that was still some hours off.

    'What is that light?' he said to Strider, who had risen,
    and was standing, gazing ahead into the night.

    'I do not know,' Strider answered.  'It is too distant to make
    out.  It is like lightning that leaps up from the hill-tops.'
