Five Triolets for Tolkien Couples

[written_leaves]

Sometimes repetition works - tell them you love them every day.

Triolets, short love-notes with an echo

Sam and Rosie

This memory I shall hold dear,
My Rosie, ribbons in her hair -
For even through the pain and fear,
This memory I shall hold dear:
Her laugh alone I'd sometimes hear...
I saw her at the party fair.
This memory I shall hold dear,
My Rosie, ribbons in her hair.

Tom and Goldberry

I sing the ages passing by,
The River-daughter's song returns
To answer mine, and lilies lie
Along her hair, with gold entwined,
We've loved with waters swirling by.
As long as moon and sunlight burns,
I sing, the ages passing by,
The River-daughter's song returns.


For Elrond and Celebrian

My love I'll see, one day again,
To tell her that I love her still;
I heard her sing the sea's refrain;
My love I'll see, one day again.
Her eyes shine in our sons, a-twain
And with her grace our daughter's filled.
My love I'll see, one day again,
To tell her that I love her still.


Eowyn and Faramir

Blades and lilies dwell in our hearts-
You saved my soul when I wished death.
Together, we've seen hope restart;
Blades and lilies dwell in our hearts,
And thus entwined, we'll never part -
For by the truth of ev'ry breath,
Blades and lilies dwell in our hearts...
You saved my soul when I wished death.

And one that isn't exactly romance, but certainly faithful friendship:

Sam and Bill the Pony

He carried packs and did his part,
It's almost like that beast could talk.
Though thin he was right at the start,
He carried packs and did his part,
The two of us shared servant's hearts -
We both were faithful through our walk -
He carried packs and did his part,
It's almost like that beast could talk.
