Fanwork Notes

Written for the SWG October 2021 Gnome Tome challenge.

The prompts I used were:

-- "IRON is always IRON"

-- "sang before they could speak"

-- Eru answered: "Let the houseless be re-housed!"

Many thanks to Zhie and Runa for encouragement & sanity-checking.

O Sing!

Read O Sing!

Oh, sing a song of iron, obdurate and strong

Of carbon making steel, enchained in crystal long

Wrought or poured or forgéd, shaped by ringing song

Iron ne'er not iron, rightly used or wrong.

Oh sing a song of Speakers, joy in chorus raised

Counterpoint and melody, on starry reaches gazed

Harmony and rhythm expressing hearts amazed

Words came after Music, creation to be praised

Oh sing a song of Making, of lamps and pillars bright

Of stars and stones and vessels, shaped from fulgent light

Feär seeking hroär, form enfolding might

The houseless now re-housed, beloved in our sight
