"The Day's Rising" by Jarreau Wimberly
"The Day's Rising" by Jarreau Wimberly

"Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising" is a song and lament composed by Éomer during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, in the face of impending defeat and death. It appears in the chapter "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields".

Later, Gléowine, minstrel of the King's House of Rohan composed a similar song to mourn the passing of Théoden.

Text

Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day’s rising
I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope’s end I rode and to heart’s breaking:
Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
