Aragorn’s Song of Gondor Lyrics
Gondor! Gondor, between the Mountains and the Sea!
West Wind blew there; the light upon the Silver Tree
Fell like bright rain in gardens of the Kings of old.
O proud walls! White towers! O wingéd crown and
throne of gold!
O Gondor, Gondor! Shall Men behold the Silver Tree,
Or West Wind blow again between the Mountains and the Sea?
West Wind blew there; the light upon the Silver Tree
Fell like bright rain in gardens of the Kings of old.
O proud walls! White towers! O wingéd crown and
throne of gold!
O Gondor, Gondor! Shall Men behold the Silver Tree,
Or West Wind blow again between the Mountains and the Sea?
About
Genius Annotation
“Aragorn sings this song as he enters Rohan, a part of Gondor given to the Rohirrim when they came to their aid five hundred years earlier. Aragorn served King Thengel of Rohan before traveling to Gondor proper to serve Ecthelion II under the name Thorongil. His time in Rohan and Gondor earned him support in Gondor on both sides of the civil war. In Rohan Aragorn established his prowess on land; in Gondor he engineered important victories over the Corsairs at sea, before returning to the wild North”
