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
