Dawn at Helm's Deep

The attack went on throughout the night,
Neither man or woman, nor elf got sleep,    
And as they endured the drawn out fight,  
They started losing hope at Helm’s Deep.  
Then many orcs broke through the doors,  
When the onslaught came in a great heap,  
Even as they advanced by great scores,  
Hope seemed lost defending Helm's Deep.  
But then Aragorn remembered the words,  
On the fifth day, at dawn, look to the east,  
At first light they gathered their strength,  
Hope had revived to defend Helm’s Deep.  
Ride out with me, Aragorn told the king,  
Ride out and meet them - without retreat,  
For my people, the king agreed with faith,  
For the horn will sound again in the deep.  
Theoden king and many of his companions,  
Charged outside the doors in a great leap,  
Slaying the enemy at the gates,  
Taking one last stand at Helm’s Deep.  
As they counterattacked at the bridge,  
The glimmer of hope became complete,  
For in the distance stood a beacon of light,  
Coming to the aid of Helm’s Deep.  
   
Gandalf arrived on the back of Shadowfax,  
Eomer gathered the Rohirrim in a great fleet,  
For the king! the horsemen thundered,  
Coming to the aid of Helm’s Deep.  
And as they charged down the hill to fight,  
The sun rose behind them blinding the enemy,  
Led by the wizard Gandalf, clad in white,  
Dawn and hope finally came to Helm’s Deep.  
 
 
"A wizard is never late…nor is he early.  
He arrives precisely when he means to."
