rabidsamfanThe laments for the fallen are fewer now, from the companies arrayed around us, and from campfire rings I hear voices raised in saucier songs now that their owners are safe to think of home.
Legolas' songs are full of the sea, and when Gimli hums counterpoint I can feel the stones in the earth answering. Gandalf sings into his beard, in a tongue that none but he must know. The hobbits sing of beer and pipes and rest at the end of a long day's work.
But the only song I seem to know is the Lay of Luthien.
