Rumil has been trapped in the Barrow!
Eye The last host of the Eorlingas has ridden forth

Hmm, hoom etc.

Not such an easy one Legate....


Maybe this is the answer, probably not! Still eliminates a possibility even so.

Before the Black King made his move --- before Siege of Gondor
after the White Queen's done her due --- Galadriel, Lothlorien
our Rook is threatened, gone our Knight --- Helm's Deep, Theodred dead
and it is White against the White --- White Hand v White Horse

Now it's my turn, with no delay --- Ceorl
I will just move, then I will say, --- a horseman riding back towards them
me, lonely Pawn, the tale of loss. --- of the Fords of the Isen
So many of the other Pawns --- Orcs, Halforcs Dunlendings and Goblin Men
have taken our Knight en passant --- what has become of Erkenbrand none seem to know
I thought our figures are all gone... --- the rest are scattered

But I see King, now moves a Knight - --- Theoden, Gandalf rides off
will it be White against the White? --- Gandalf v Saruman?

I don't think a pawn can't take a knight en passant? Indeed Erkenbrand survived to save the day. OK I'm stretching this one huh?
