I agree about reforged/renewed. Reforged has a purely literal meaning, while renewed also carries other connotations of new strength, new life, new beginnings, that make the word more powerful and interesting.
The more I read it though, the better the poem seems - I had never really thought about it properly before. Thanks for bringing it up!
