Farewell, Oakenshield<\/strong><\/h4>\n

by: Ironfoot<\/em><\/p>\n

The king lies in earth beside noble kin,
\nWith Arkenstone abreast and sword in hand.
\nMay your mem\u2019ry not fade, son of Durin.
\nLet your deeds be known beyond northern land.<\/p>\n

Whether the world might be sad or merry,
\nYou leave it now, o Thorin Oakenshield.
\nThe journey is long for we who tary,
\nFrom great mountain peaks to a green Shire field.<\/p>\n

We have gone there and now go back again,
\nWith heart heavy and eyes turned to the west.
\nYour honor is known by we who remain.
\nYour journey is over and now you rest.<\/p>\n

Forsake hoarded gold and cherish good cheer.
\nRemember the king and shed not a tear.<\/p>\n
