On horses
horses as
swift as
the wind
the Rohirrim
ride them into
battle
They are
bold men
who ride
without fear
into the heart
of
the
Shadow
their steeds
are so swift
that the transformed
wizard (Gandalf the White)
chooses a mount
from
their
stables
Theoden -freed
of the cobwebs of defeat and
despair
now rides at
the head
of
mighty
warriors
the sons and
even the daughters
of
Rohan
were born to
ride into battle
Let their banners
unfurl
Let their swords reflect
the sunlight
which shines
down on them
Today we
may see blood-red ground
Tomorrow will
be
the better
for that
Ride, Rohirrim
Follow your king
and bring him glory!

The world can
be a sorry place to live in
Fed up with traffic, pollution, crime?
Then head to a land you may have heard of
There you can take delight
in elvish singing
beneath the starry, summer sky
Gaze upon the work of
the dwarves - those masters of stone and rock
Marvel at the powers
of the Istari
Gandalf the White the most powerful wizrard(after the fall of Saruman)
/will introduce us to Radagast the Brown - the wizard most in touch
with animals
We'll view the tall towers of Minas Tirith
Know the pride of the Rohirrim - the horse masters
We must pay a visit to Lothlorien
where Celeborn and his lady Galadriel
hold sway
Yes in deepest dream we'll fly to another world
It's called Middle Earth, my friends
