Aragornreborn, you have it, though your logic isn't quite perfect.

To none a slave, to some a master, -you were correct
Who then is he,
that wanders after? -after all have fallen
The death of all, -see above
and life for none,
yet who am I,
that stay's alone? -alone in that he will be the last to die

Perhaps, they say,
I'm but a jest. -of course, the jolly singing man can be misunderstood
Perhaps they're right,
I think, for lest
the watchers clear my path, -this was intended to give the image of watchers looking down from above (i.e. readers)
I will remain
a tool for laughs. -and so he does

Anyway, your go, aragorn
