“Gandalf sings this song softly in defense of Galadrial during argument with Grima Wormtongue. It is hard to imagine how the Rohirrim could have concluded that Galadriel was their enemy, since she helped them on their ride from the north during the time of Eorl, according Unfinished Tales. Yet even Eomer speaks badly of her when he meets Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli on the plains: "Few escape her nets, they say. These are strange days.”"
