about

A song that Bilbo sang to Frodo right before the Company departed from Rivendell - I humbly yet quite audaciously set it to music and sang it myself.

lyrics

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

i sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that i shall never see.

for still there are so many things
that i have never seen:
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

for still there are so many things
that i have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green

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