hobbits

This song was sung to wandering Hobbits the Elves of Linna na Gelaidh met on their travels. It is, as Tolkien would say, nonsense but fair nonsense.

From out the cold, the year began
As snow did cover all the land
We huddled close to friends and kin
To stop the cold from coming in

Then spring arrived to fill the land
With life so new, and treasures grand
So great the paths there were to tread
And many wonders lay ahead

And to the fields some friends did go
With seeds to plant and crops to grow
And others went to walk the bounds
To keep the Shire all safe and sound

Just look up at the moon
Way up in the sky
Are there hobbits up there
Who feast on moon pie?

Could it really be true
It's made of green cheese?
And all those moon hobbits
Can eat all they please?

Its landscape is shining
It glows very bright
Are its meadows silver?
Are the rivers white?

And are there gardens
With flowers up there?
And do the moon lasses
Wear them in their hair?
