# The Riddle of Strider

*All that is gold does not glitter,*\
\&#xNAN;*Not all those who wander are lost;*\
\&#xNAN;*The old that is strong does not wither,*\
\&#xNAN;*Deep roots are not reached by the frost.*\
\&#xNAN;*From the ashes a fire shall be woken,*\
\&#xNAN;*A light from the shadows shall spring;*\
\&#xNAN;*Renewed shall be* [*blade that was broken*](https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/And%C3%BAril)*,*\
\&#xNAN;*The crownless again shall be* [*king*](https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Kings_of_Gondor)*.*
