The Last Journey (Frodo’s Song)
Poem by @tolkienenthusiast
Journey long done at last,
So set the sails and raise the mast.
I journey now to Elvenhome,
Where ill be cured and pain unknown.
For there is light beyond the sea!
Carry me, carry me.
Carry me, carry me.
Through shoreless seas and starry nights,
My path will lead me where there’s light.
So mortal shores, I leave you now,
With stars set firmly on my brow.
For there is green beyond the swell!
Fare you well, fare you well.
Fare you well, fare you well.
Dearest friends, I take my leave,
Though may I ask you not to grieve.
With gulls of white to guide my way,
I take my leave, I cannot stay.
For though the journey may be done,
The road goes on, the road goes on.
The road goes on, ever on.
