All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
This line refers to the ascension of Aragorn; while Aragorn was a descendent of the rulers of Arthedain – the last of which, Arvedui, died in TA 1975 – Gondor’s line only became crownless in TA 2050 with the loss of Eärnur, who disappeared after entering Minas Morgul. 
 In the end, Aragorn will be king, as he deserves to be.
