There many foes he fought.His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.''O Boromir! The Tower of Gaurd shall ever northward gazeTo Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'
