All That is Gold Does Not Glitter – JRR Tolkien
All That is Gold Does Not Glitter
by J.R.R Tolkien
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
(Excerpt from: The Fellowship of the Ring, 1954)
