<P> Part of "A Walking Song" is featured in a profoundly different context in New Line Cinema's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, directed by Peter Jackson, and released in 2003 . </P> <P> Some lines from the poem are part of a larger montage entitled "The Steward of Gondor", which was written by Howard Shore and arranged by Philippa Boyens . The song is called "The Edge of Night" after a phrase in the lyrics . Its melody was composed by Billy Boyd, who plays Pippin . </P> <P> In this version, Denethor, the Steward of Gondor residing in its capital Minas Tirith, bids Pippin to sing for him while he eats . At the same time, Denethor's son Faramir attempts to retake the city of Osgiliath which has been occupied by Orcs, as requested by his father . The mission is a futile one . Pippin sings while Faramir and his horsemen are riding in slow motion to be massacred by the Orcs . As the song ends, Pippin begins to cry softly, as he realizes that Faramir most likely died in vain to try to prove to his father that he was like his slain older brother Boromir, whom Denethor loved greatly . In a later scene, a gravely wounded Faramir is dragged back to the city by his horse, to his father's remorse . </P> <P> Pippin's song in the film is only a fraction of the poem as written by Tolkien . It all comes from the last stanza, though some lines are skipped, and some are slightly rewritten . </P>
