The Lion Is Loud and Proud
A poem by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Lion Is Loud and Proud is the name of a short and curious poem that was written by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Poem excerpt
The Lion is loud and proud, and Strong —
is loud and proud, I said —
Background
The poem was written around 1924 and features two voices arguing about the titular Lion. The second line was originally written as "is loud and proud, is what I said", but Tolkien rejected this for the current second line.
Tolkien likely may have given the only manuscript containing the poem to E.V. Gordon because the manuscript currently resides at the Gordon archive in the University of Leeds.
