Beleg Strongbow (a poem)
Beleg Strongbow

A Sindarin Elf of Doriath was he.

Warrior woodsmen that came to be

In Thingol's realm, an archer to be feared.

Haladin aided, a War of Unnumbered Tears.

A Year of Lamentation ensued.

Battle Grief was readily viewed.

Apprenticed Túrin, in arms and deed.

Two great captains, giving aid in need.

Although a bowman by right,

Yet in his last year did take

The sword Anglachel to fight.

His enemies fled in its wake.

His friend Túrin was captured and subdued.

The Orcish captors took him from Amon Rûdh.

Beleg rescued Túrin from this grisly end.

But Túrin bewitched slays his dear, good friend.

And so passes Beleg, the Strongbow Sindarin Elf,

Betrayed by a sword’s malice and a friend to himself.

His Bow Belthronding is buried with him

As Túrin grieves for his unknowing whim.
