Goodie!
Here's my entry... (It's a poem i wrote a while ago--it's from Sam's point of view, talking to Frodo.)
As Much as This
The Elves may sing in twilit lands,
"Our love for Earth is deep--
Beyond the depths of Ocean sands,
This in our hearts we keep:"
In learning all the things of lore,
The Wizards and the Wise,
May love their charges "past all lore
That locked in Arda lies:"
Tree-herders love their forests long--
Beyond the passing Age,
Entwining with the woodland song--
Immortal life's long wage:
And Angels give their Arda love
Far greater than the sky--
But me, I know so little of
The deep, the fair, the high:
I cannot say, "more long than years,"
For I've not lived an Age--
Nor, "past the lore of Elvenseers"--
I'm not wise like a sage...
I can't say, "deeper than the Sea"
Which I have never seen--
Nor wrought the Earth in heaven's lee,
Ere Sunlight and Moonsheen:
I cannot know the mighty lore
That Ea harbours furled--
I only know I love you more
Than aught else in the World.
