Chapter 1 - The Coming of Elessar

Denethor, Denethor, wither did you go?
Unhelped in your madness, I was too slow.
None of your efforts were in vain
For now another takes your reign.
Noble is the Elessar, rightful and proud,
His taking of the City banished every last cloud.
The people cheered and bowed and rejoiced,
This Earth’s happiness by all voiced.
Although my own lord fell and burned,
I understand now the King has returned.
