“We have been friends together
In sunshine and in shade.” - Caroline E. S. Norton
“Well here we are, just the four of us that started out together. We have left all the rest behind, one after another. It seems almost like a dream that has slowly faded.”
- The Return of the King, “Homeward Bound”
Okay so if you are a fan of Tolkien and have even a little bit of taste, you’ve heard of my girl Adele’s music. She’s like the expert, and her specialty is setting his words to music. Now, the very first time I read Boromir’s death scene, I wanted to set the Lament to music, but I found it unwieldy from a songwriting point of view. So, working with Tolkien’s words in mind, I sort of. Wrote my own. And I am pretty proud! So if you’re looking to be sad about Boromir today, I’m your girl.
Lament for Boromir - Micaela
What news o wand’ring wind tonight
To towers white you bring?
By the moon or by the starlight
Have you seen our brightest son?Have you seen Boromir the tall?
I westward look atop the shining walls
I listen nightly from afar
The silence ails my grieving heartWhat news o sighing wind tonight
To ease my mind you bring?
He tarries without warning
And I fear the tidings morning bringsHave you seen Boromir the fair?
Can you not answer Minas Tirith’s prayers
He’s long away and our hope fades
The moon he left beneath has wanedI have seen Boromir the bold
He passed with cloven shield and heart gone cold
His voice and horn both silent now
Still the brow that might have born a crownWhat news o mighty wind tonight
To grieve my heart you bring?
Gondor’s bravest warrior sleeping
Passing onward in the evening sun
