Excellent! Isn't that the one that was posted on I like it!

This has always been one of my favorite fanfiction poems (I've seen it in a bunch of places). It's definitely one of the best. It's so romantic and the imagery is so great... I had assumed it would have a billion reviews. Anyway, it's gorgeous and I'm adding it to my favorites. :)

Well, that was sorta sad. At least the beginning. But it ended happy, so that was good. Yes, you are giving me a new appreciation of of Eomer. Oh! Great idea just struck me! Do one about Eowyn and Faramir! Please? Pretty please? Do I have to get down on my knees and beg?
*gets down on knees*
I'm BEGGING you! Please do something about Eowyn and Faramir.

Erin,
I spent ages getting registered so I could submit this review. This is, as usual, wonderful. The emotions, the description of the differing environments. There are so many lines that I love starting with

"I dream of seas beneath a prow
That leaps upon the surging waves,"

and continues to

"His golden head upon my breast,
Whilst slumber doth caress his brow."

that I would quote the whole poem to mention it all.

Thank you for sharing, and I'm sorry I didn't get over here sooner to read it!

What a beautiful poem. It's wonderful to know that a marriage (probably an arranged one) results in love and a blending of souls. Wonderful.

Beautiful in the extreme. I loved it.

This is too exquisite for words. All I can say, is I feel blessed to have read it. Beautiful.

Bravo! Outstanding! It brings the mind the best classic poetry I've read.

Oh wow!
The poem makes me think of lovely images.
The language is quite archaic, but it sounds so flowing, and it's easy to understand.
Great job!

Aw! (I'm sorely tempted to leave my review at that, because I'm so speechless).

I love this. The language has that olden poetic feel to it, but I could still understand the lines without difficult. Beautiful imagery with the lion and the swan. I can see the how you liken Lothiriel with the swan, but admittedly, the Eomer one made me think for a while. It's very appropriate!

I liked how you ended each stanza so solidly;
"And with it wings my questing heart
To shores beyond a distant sun."

And was also struck by the smooth transition to the next stanza... "But now my seas are waves of grass".

Gah, I'm feeling very goofy for Lothiriel/Eomer now. Darn you and you fantastic writing. ;)
