And poets found, old writers say,

But a wild apple hid the grass
With its sweet blossom where hers was;
And being in good heart, because
A better time had come again
After the deaths of many men,
And that long
fighting
at the ford,
They wrote on tablets of thin board,
Made of the apple and the yew,
All the love stories that they knew.

Rolling back upon Balin, crushed the man
