EOWYN

# I.
# Éowyn, beautiful flower of your land,
the fairest daughter of [the] People of Horses,
you [are] light like [the] Sun on sky;
you [are] crowned by long golden hair,
shining like the bright rays of light,
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# II.
You fell in the love with him;
you want his love, young princess.
Arwen is in [the] heart of Elessar;
he is a man and a bold warrior;
you love him but he does not love you,
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# III. The darkness has come; they depart
to fight in a war in far lands,
and you they left at home:
they want you to watch women, children
in the fortresses in the high mountains,
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# IV.
You want to find an end to your grief;
under the name [of] Dernhelm now you go
secretly like a [lit. the] normal horseman;
in the gray eyes a halfling saw
someone without hope who wants to die
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# V.
Under his dead horse lies the king
who was like a father to you and to your brother;
having a sword in [your] hands you are looking at
a terrible monster carrying fear;
a living man will not stop [the] Lord of corpses,
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# VI. Éowyn, you are not a man, you are a woman;
he is strong, evil, dark and large,
rules over fear and Sauron over him;
you lifted a sword high,
his crown fell, he is fallen,
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# VII. You wanted to die and have glory;
you fought [the] Lord of [the] Úlairi,
and he is dead but now you lie
beside your king, you do not see him;
you do not hear his last words,
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# VIII.
You are sick and sorrowful by life;
an old woman speaks old wisdom:
the hands of the king heal.
Éowyn, they bore for you only life,
but not joy and desire to exist,
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# IX.
The love of a minister you found;
he walked and talked together with you
between trees and flowers in his home;
he said to you [that] he loves you;
now you are healed by love
Éowyn princess shieldmaiden

# X.
Now you will not rule as [or, like] the queen;
you will be a healer like him;
not a shieldmaiden and not a princess,
you will love everything alive and fair;
as he will love you, you will love him
Éowyn bride healer.
