1. c.  Woodland Elves

Down the swift dark stream you go

Back to lands you once did know!

Leave the halls and caverns deep,

Leave the northern mountains steep,

Where the forest wide and dim

Stoops in shadow grey and grim!

2. a.  Aragorn

The leaves were long, the grass was green,

     The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,

And in the glade a light was seen

     Of stars in shadow shimmering.

Tinuviel was dancing there

     To music of a pipe unseen,

And light of stars was in her hair,

     And in her raiment glimmering.

3. b.  Boromir

Seek for the Sword that was broken:

     In Imladris it dwells;

There shall be counsels taken

     Stronger than Morgul-spells.

There shall be shown a token

     That Doom is near at hand,

For Isildur’s Bane shall waken,

     And the Halfling forth shall stand.

4. b.  Bilbo

When winter first begins to bite

     and stones crack in the frosty night,

when pools are black and trees are bare,

     ‘tis evil in the Wild to fare.

5. c.  Sam

The finest rockets ever seen:

they burst in stars of blue and green,

or after thunder golden showers

came falling like a rain of flowers.

6. c.  Gandalf

Tall ships and tall kings

     Three times three,

What brought they from the foundered land

     Over the flowing sea?

Seven stars and seven stones

     And one white tree.

7. a.  Eomer

Out of doubt, out of dark to the day’s rising

I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.

To hope’s end I rode and to heart’s breaking:

Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
