Writing Your favorite Lord of the Rings poems/songs

[Mr. Maul]

Everyone who has read any of the LOTR books has
a favorite poem/song. I want to know yours.




My favorite song/ poem from LOTR is this one:

There is an inn, a merry old inn
beneath an old grey hill,
And there they brew a beer so brown
That the Man in the Moon himself came down
on night to drink his fill

The olster has a tipsy cat
that plays a five-stringed fiddle;
And up and down he runs his bow,
Now squeeking high, now purring low,
now sawing in the middle.

The landlord keeps a little dog
that is mighty found of jokes;
When there's cheer among the guests,
He cocks an ear at all the jests
and laughs until he chokes.

They also keep a horned cow
as proud as any queen;
But music turns her head like ale,
And makes her wave her tuted tail
and dance upon the green.

And O! the rows of silver dishes
and the store of silver spoons!
For Sunday there's a special pair,
And these they polish up with care
on Saturday afternoons.

The man in the Moon was drinking deep,
and the cat began to wail;
A dish and a spoon on the table danced,
The cow in the garden madly pranced,
and the little dog chased his tail.

The Man in the Moon took another mug,
and then rolled beneath his chair;
And there he dozed and dreamed of ale,
Till in the sky the stars were pale,
and dawn was in the air.

Then the olster said to his tipsy cat:
"The white horses of the Moon,
They neigh and champ their silver bits;
But heir master's been and drowned in his wits,
and the sun'll be rising soon!"

So the cat on his fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle,
a jig that would wake the dead:
He squeeked and sawed and quickened the tune,
While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon:
"It's after three," he said.

They rolled the Man slowly up the hill
and bundled him into the Moon,
While his horses galloped up in the rear,
And the cow came capering like a deer,
and the dish ran up with the spoon.

Now quicker went the fiddle deedle-dum-diddle;
the dog began to roar,
The cow and the horses stood on their heads;
The guests all bounded from their beds
and danced upon the floor.

With a ping and a pang the fiddle strings broke!
the cow jumped over the Moon,
And the little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the Saturday dish went off at a run
with the silver Sunday spoon.

The round Moon rolled behind the hill,
as the Sun raised up her head.
She hardly believed her fiery eyes;
For though it was day, to her surprise
they all went back to bed.

A! Elbereth Gilthoniel!
Silivern penna miriel
O menel aglar elenath,

Gilthoniel! A! Elbereth!
We still remember, we who dwell,
In this far land beneath the trees,
The starlight on the Western Seas.[/COLOR]
