Arise now, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Dire deeds awake: dark is it eastward.
Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!
Forth, Eorlingas!
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
One of my very favorite scenes in the story. Gives you chills
Goddamn, your comment inspired me to reread the trilogy. Well done!
I’m right in the middle of my yearly reread now as well. :)
Hey, me too! Rohan has just arrived to aid Gondor. God I love these books.
