Time for another quiz! The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are filled with poetry and songs. Here's your chance to see how well you know your Middle Earth Verse! Below are
Note that this is about who recited these, not who wrote them. In same cases, I've provided the whole thing here, but sometimes I just took the first stanza or first few lines to save room.
I'll post the answers on Sunday, along with everyone's scores. Good luck!
1.
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!
a. Lorien Elves
b. Rivendell Elves
c. Woodland Elves
2.
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.
a. Aragorn
b. Bilbo
c. Elrond
3.
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.
a. Aragorn
b. Boromir
c. Gandalf
4.
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.
a. Aragorn
b. Bilbo
c. Elrond
b. Bilbo
c. Elrond
5.
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.
a. Frodo
b. Merry
c. Sam
6.
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.
a. Aragorn
b. Boromir
c. Gandalf
7.
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!
a. Eomer
b. Eowyn
c. Theoden

Jacqueline, good catch! I'd initially tried ten, but I decided some were too tricky, so shaved it down to seven but forgot to change the number in the intro.
ReplyDeleteI'm confident that "a" is the answer to questions 1 and 2 and that "a" is probably the answer to questions 5 and 7. I'm not at all certain about the others so I'm just going to go with... "A" TO ALL! :D
