I loved Sam's poem! Very nice!
Surprising as it may sound, Gimli also penned a verse that was included. Of course, if he knew that Frodo had secured a copy, he would be appalled.
I'll Call None Other Fair
Gimli to Galadriel
Galadriel, great elven queen,
Fairest one that I have seen,
This dwarf to thee his awkward praise
And songs of wonderment must raise.
Proud and bright Galadriel,
My kin once thought thee dread and fell,
And yet one look upon thy face,
I see thy beauty and thy grace.
What Aulë chiseled from the stone,
Deep in mountain halls, alone,
Is hard of heart, stubborn, strong,
For we to stone and earth belong.
And yet as I look on the fair
Galadriel of golden hair,
My hardened heart grows soft and light,
Heavenward it then takes flight.
Such joy, such light, they break my heart,
For, seeing thee, I must depart.
One gift alone I begged of thee,
A strand of hair, and thou? Thou gavest three.
