``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.”
