of death on trees and stuff

ah well mr lian,
but i plagarised the whole thing
ahahhahaha
sorry old bean, i doubt i have the literary accumen to write worthy prose or verse in honour of tolkien

but you raised a poignant point....
the final flowering:
When once the darkness again had passed,
and crowned in glory the new king sat fast,
on Mindolluin's slopes you grew,
one last hope that timely bloomed

anyone who says outright that tolkien wrote allegorically obviously doesnt pay any attention to what tolkien claimed...

but anyways

so the white tree is a promise of hope,
of a return of valour, strength, of Isildur's heir
but so long, so long have they waited....
till hope is dead
and only the foolish cherish it
hope so vain it becomes a thing of melachony and beauty

we're waiting for a return of our own
an aged and jaded one, maybe
that timeless curse, death on a tree
that in Him we may all be free
