The Dragon Queen, in Bazylan,
Enthroned beneath the olive tree,
In gardens where the waters ran
And East-man's eye looked far and free.
From thence she struck, and justice dealt
To Westron's folly by the sea.
Before the East's upturning, by
The red eye and the silver tree.
The Dragon Queen, in Atalak,
The city of the golden street,
Did good men levy into war
Whence West-man fell beneath her feet.
For in those lands she earned her name,
The queen who wielded dragon's fire.
But long ago she fell to naught,
And left the way for Gondor's ire.
The Dragon Queen, in Rhúnost, where
The sea-foam strikes the Eastern shore,
Entombed beneath an olive tree
Recalled to places of ancient lore.
