“Now dear Théodred lies in darkness,

most loyal of fighters.

The sound of the harp shall not wake the warrior;

nor shall the man hold a golden wine cup,

nor good hawk swing through the hall,

nor the swift horse stamp in the courtyard.

An evil death has set forth the noble warrior

A song shall sing the sorrowing minstrels of Meduseld

That noble cousin, who always held me dear

Now is held in darkness, enclosed.”

- Lament for Théodred, sung by Éowyn

(The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)
