'Tis not so strange for one to love a flower,
At least as far as my opinion's worth;
Though swift succumb they to transcience's power,
And swift they settle back into their earth,
His youngest child to Bóurr son of Bíld of Erebor greeting.
This letter I pen many weeks later than I ought to have, to my shame; I apologize profusely, but I will be consoled that my winter letters are like to pile up on the western side of the Misty Mountains regardless.
