Feel the late summer breeze
Sweeping cross the field
Leaves alight in dusk
Golden wonders unsealed
Pick a late lonely berry
Juicy sweetness from the mire
Wonders never letting up
Home in the Shire
Roads will lead you onward
Past familiar sights
By tidy fences and farmland
Houses neat and small
Warm and welcoming lights
Go in and greet the others there
All wait beside the fire
You’re home in the Shire
Long ago this land was bare
Empty naked plain
Nothing but despair
A home of ash and pain
But a lonely tender sapling
Made the gloomy night expire
Good living made its home
Home in the Shire
Roads will lead you onward
Past familiar sights
By tidy fences and farmland
Houses neat and small
Warm and welcoming lights
Go in and greet the others there
All wait beside the fire
You’re home in the Shire
All greeting you friendly
You’re home in the Shire
They say these lands are blessed
No more will darkness reign
From that sapling of old
Hobbits made their domain
So pick that late lonely berry
Its juice will set you afire
Wonders all around
You’re home in the Shire
Roads will lead you onward
Past familiar sights
By tidy fence and farmland
Neat houses small
Warm welcoming lights
Go in and greet the others there
All wait beside the fire
You’re home in the Shire
All greeting you friendly
You’re home in the Shire
