Eomer's battle cry; Lament for Eorl; Theoden's cry:

Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

And also the death-song of the Pelennor Fields.

Was all the poetry in the movies Tolkien's? I know it wasn't all in the right place.
