The once-mighty King Arthur faces his darkest hour. As his kingdom crumbles and his enemies close in, the legendary ruler must make a fateful choice: cling to his fading glory or sacrifice it all for the chance at redemption. In this previously unpublished poem, Tolkien paints a sweeping, elegiac portrait of a hero's twilight struggle against an encroaching darkness.
