Collect the songs together
Scatter them apart
Notations on the wall
Remind us all of art
That very dart

Maglor remembered. Remembered how the points of light - gold, white, red, blue, green, every color, from every kind of lamp, candle, glowstone, torch and lantern - heaved and roiled, flickered and dimmed before brightening again, ran together, stirred, smeared: cloud-pictures on the long dark shore of Araman. He remembered the railing under his fingers as he realized order, shape, geometry was emerging from inchoate, abstract instances. Companies and groups stitched with messengers, edged with scouts and hunters. The beginnings of the wagon-units that would let them cross the Ice laid out like the schema of a tapestry, warp, weft, shuttle, beater.

Weapon-words we gather
Shining in the song
Conquer we would Darkness
Let light return with dawn
We carry on
