It's debatable, of course, how you could have this poem as it stands if it's true that the Rohirrim never knew at the time who the mysterious grey horsemen were. In my head, this is a version of the poem that dates from after the Ring War, when Elladan and Elrohir may have dropped a minor bombshell to Eomer and Eowyn: "Celebrant? Oh, yes, remember it well, that was us..." ;-)
