“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
