To the Beeches of Neldoreth I Came in the Autumn

Inspiration: The forest of Neldoreth, a beech forest in the North of Doriath, visited by Treebeard in Autumn (J.R.R Tolkien's universe)

"To the beeches of Neldoreth I came in the Autumn
Ah! The gold and the red and the sighing of leaves in the
Autumn in Taur-na-neldor!
It was more than my desire" (Treebeard's Song, LOTR: The Two Towers)
