Laeg
Laeg,
The colors of all things new,
The color of every living plant,
The color of a new dawn,
A new hope.
-
Laeg,
The color of the Shire in the spring,
Of the bright hills and trees,
Of the crops that grow
And the gardens planted.
-
Laeg,
The color of Pelennor when spring awakens,
The weathered fields awash with the color,
The endless sea of grass,
The vast emptiness of the plains.
-
Laeg,
The color of the forests of Eryn Lasgalen,
No longer dark and filled with evil,
But light and filled with good,
It is a symbol of victory.
-
Laeg,
The colors of all things fresh,
The color of all that live,
The color of a new season,
A new ambition.
-
Laeg.
Ethuil.
Estel.
The End
