Okay, I decided to post the poem, although I don't think it is that good.
It may include some mistakes, but I hope you forgive me because I had some difficulties in making an english rhyme (English is not my first language). I'll post it in three parts, because it is too long and it consists of three parts.

Faramir And Eowyn part 1
A strong man was he
Who, in his dreams, the future could see Black was his hair and beard A hero, who nothing feared From the character of his brother he was independent The borders of Gondor he defended In Ithilien the Dark Lord he tried to defeat He wouldn’t take his ring if it lay on a street But helped the ring-bearer to fulfil his task Although too many questions he wouldn’t ask He stayed in Ithilien till the end With his men he tried to defend But the enemy grew too strong But this shall not be told in this song He stood against Sauron’s attack And left fallen Osgiliath with the enemy in his back To help the City of Kings he flew But in his heart he knew That the Dark Lord was too strong But he still carried on Near Minas Tirith he fell hurt badly And Prince Imrahil had to carry him home sadly Then he was going to be burnt by his father But brave Beregond saved him rather A descendant of Númenor was he And his fate will change for good, you’ll see

Faramir And Eowyn part 2
A maiden of the Rohirrim was she
The most beautiful you could ever see A lady with a big, suffering heart And a fighter, right from the start She loved her brother Éomer very much And from fear about the kind her heart was touched She felt like in a gilded cage she was trapped Until he suddenly in her life stepped The hidden king of Gondor, Aragorn was his name She fell in love with him, but he didn’t feel the same Éowyn loved him because he was brave and strong To him she wanted to belong Bet he was already taken She felt like forsaken Because she was not allowed to ride to the fight But she decided just right Undercover she rode with the men And arrived to defend the City of Gondor then Hide her body and blonde hair under her armour And fought like a man though it was a torture The Lord of the Nazgúl killed Theoden king And therefore Éowyn wanted vengeance for this thing It was said that the Lord of Morgul couldn’t be killed by a man’s hand But against the White Lady of Rohan it couldn’t stand Many songs will men sing How Éowyn and the Halfling killed the Witch-king But she was hurt during the attack And in belief of her death she was carried back

Faramir And Eowyn part 3
This two humans were in need to heal
But their illness nobody was able to reveal And then Aragorn, the healer, came Saw that they both had the same They were sick of the Black Breath But Elessar saved them from death In the Houses of Healing the two of them first met As soon as out of their beds they were let Recognized their strong connection right from the start And nothing should ever tear them apart But the Lady of the Shield-arm still thought she loved Aragorn To whom, in her heart, she had her love sworn After the war her brother wanted to have her near But she stayed in the White City with Faramir He asked her why she decided to stay But the true reason she could not say Then Faramir told her that he loved her so much Her heart it was able to touch She realized that she loved him, too And her love was really true In the halls of Meduseld Éowyn and Faramir Married to be forever near Of great joy was this day Later they went to beautiful Ithilien to stay Faramir, Steward of Gondor, became prince of this land And with Éowyn, Lady of Rohan, he lived happily hand in hand

I always thought that Faramir kept Éowyn barefoot and pregnant those early years after the war, and then there were maybe 4 dishwater blonde-ish kids running around the Palace grounds of Emyn Arnen. After 10-15 years, when Aragorn was often driven out of the Palace in Minas Tirith by all the daughters, and wife and their healthy elven pms, he would go fly-fishing the Anduin. He would stop by Emyn Arnen to visitafter landing a couple Anduin steelhead salmon and they would have a nice bbq. Of course by this time, Faramir too would find reasons to get away from the wife and kids, and so it was quite interesting when Aragorn would stop by while Faramir was gone. Of course, when Faramir and Eowyn would visit Aragorn and Arwen at the palace, there were parties that were talked of for generations!

Thank you Lady of Ithilien. I really gave my best but actually there isn't a german version because I only wrote it in english. It would have been to difficult to translate a german rhyme into an english one.
But a huge thank you!
