Strider I am to one fat man who lives within a day's march of foes that would freeze his heart, or lay his little town in ruin, if he were not guarded ceaselessly. Yet we would not have it otherwise.

From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring fallsAnd clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me todayWhat news of Boromir the Bold For he is long away.''Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to restAnd Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.''O Boromir The Tower of Gaurd shall ever northward gazeTo Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'
