Another poem I love

The Riddle of Strider

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.

-JRR Tolkein

I love this poem too. I find it so interesting to discover where sayings I have heard all my life really come from. Just like..."All that glitters is not gold." Thanks.
