J. R. R. Tolkien — Farewell Song of Merry and Pippin

[Verse 1] Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall We must away, ere break of day Far over the wood and mountain tall [Verse 2] To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell In glades beneath the misty fell Through moor and waste we ride in haste And whither then we cannot tell [Verse 3] With foes ahead, behind us dread Beneath the sky shall be our bed Until at last our toil be passed Our journey done, our errand sped [Outro] We must away! We must away! We ride before the break of day!
