The Old Walking Song - J.R.R. Tolkien

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager/weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follw it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
 

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

Nice poem... isn´t it a song? I guess I have the (piano) sheet music of this one... not sure though if it's the same... title is different... and I can't check the lyrics at the moment. (The poor book is buried underneath a lot of stuff)

But this means I'll have to put a poem on my LJ as well, right? (Or I should pretend I didn't see this...)

It is a song, but I liked it, so I posted it. It can be seen as a poem as well I think.

Lol, you can't pretent you didn't see! You commented XD

Of course I can pretend I didn't see it, even though I commented... that's the meaning of pretending... (okay, posted a poem anyways)

I just listened to the CD that has the song on it. Don't really like the singing, but it's nice to play on the piano

You had your eyes closed when you commented? :p

I never heard the song, only when Bilbo sang little of it in the movie
