To the end! Strong-limbed he was born This son of Kings; This warrior of Rohan. Bound by birth to lead. Bound by love to serve. Long years of war begin to show. The body has begun to bend. Swift mortal years outpace the will. But the eyes still watch clear-sighted. The great heart is beating still.
In the distance they saw him, White sun caught in his mane. Long they called him, But he would not come. for he was Shadowfax, Lord of all Horses. And he answered only to one.
