Like "Lord of the Rings" in the banner above, these pages were designed to be viewed in the 'Flat Brush' font.  If your computer doesn't show them that way, right click on this link and save the file to your 'C:\WINDOWS\FONTS' folder.

Click on any of the small 'thumbnail' images bordered with WHITE and a window with a larger version of that image will 'pop-up'.  Click on the 'X' in its upper-right corner to close it when you're done.

Meanwhile, Gamling is helping Théoden don his armor:
 
Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?

and the bright hair flowing?

and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest
and the tall corn growing?

Or behold the flowing years
from the Sea returning?
