Fallen Warrior

The spell of the 
ring 
  proved too powerful 
for his proud heart 
He broke the promise 
    which bound the nine 
walkers 
   By trying to take the one 
from Frodo 
     and bring it to Minas Tirith 
 for the defense of that city
   Frodo fled from him 
       Boromir then faced orc arrows
 He fought bravely to the end 
but realized his mistake too late 
He died defending the hobbits 
   Too many orc arrows 
struck him 
  He died a hero's dath 
His body - along with his broken horn 
were sent down the Anduin 
Thus passed Boromir 
son of Denethor
