Lord of the Rings - Bilbo's Song

 

 
I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;
 

 

 

 
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.
 
... morning mist and silver sun ...
 

 

 
I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever see.
 

 

 
... so many things ...
 
For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.
 
... in every wood in every spring there is a different green.
 

 

 
I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.
 

 

 
... times there were before ...
 
But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.
