The Night winks it solemn eye 'pon its sleeping residents,
Like the rain ceases to fall,
It ceases to cry.
Into the dark black fathomless waves he went,
Crying for his own solitude.

All that is gold does not glitter,<br /> Not all those who wander are lost;<br /> The old that is strong does not wither,<br /> Deep roots are not reached by the frost.<br /> From the ashes a fire shall be woken,<br /> A light from the shadows shall spring;<br /> Renewed shall be blade that was broken,<br /> The crownless again shall be king.

I feel like this is one of the poems I would read published in a book full of poems. It is very good--good use of personification!
