Two Graves
But Snowmane, wild with terror stood up on high, fighting with the air, and then with a great scream he crashed upon his side: a black dart had pierced him. The king fell beneath him.
And afterwards, when all was over men returned and made a fire and burned the carcass of the beast (Nazgul Dragon); but for Snowmane they dug a grave and set up a stone upon which was carved in the tongue of Gondor and the Mark:
Faithful servant yet master's bane,
Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane.
Green and long grew the grass on Snowmane's Howe, but ever black and bare was the ground where the beast was burned.
