A Measure of Tears by Himring

Fanwork Notes

For the Gates of Summer challenge prompt "Nirnaeth Arnoediad".

I happened to listen to a session of the BBC's  radio programme Poetry Extra that combined a reading of Lorca's Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías with a discussion of the background of Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade.

Warnings: As per canon, allusions to violence and multiple character death.
