Song of the Mounds of Mundburg
The song of the Mounds of Mundburg was a song written by an unnamed poet of Rohan some years after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. It was about those slain in the battle, those buried at the Mounds of Mundburg. Like most of the poems attributed to the Rohirrim, it is written in the old Germanic alliterative meter. It is much like the epic Welsh poem Y Gododdin in miniature form.
Poem excerpt
We heard of the horns in the hills ringing,
the swords shining in the South-kingdom,
Steeds went striding to the Stoningland
as wind in the morning. War was kindled.
There Théoden fell, Thengling mighty,
to his golden halls and green pastures
in the Northern fields never returning,
high lord of the host.
