<p>219.89.30.5: /* List of words */</p> <hr /> <div>'''''Errantry''''' is a three-page long poem by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], first published in [[1933]]. Tolkien himself considered it his most attractive poem.<br /> <br /> ==Metre==<br /> The poem has complex trisyllabic assonances with a metre that Tolkien invented, and was difficult enough that he never wrote another poem again in this style. A much shorter version would be included in ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'': the ''[[Song of Eärendil]]''. ''Errantry'' was, within the Legendarium, envisioned as a song of [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] folklore.<br /> <br /> ==Melody==<br /> This poem was set to music by [[Donald Swann]]. The sheet music and an audio recording are part of the song-cycle ''[[The Road Goes Ever On (book)|The Road Goes Ever On]]''. <br /> <br /> ==List of words==<br /> Below is a partial list of rare and/or obsolete words used in the poem.<br /> <br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aerie Aerie]'', or an invention that rhymes on ''[[Faerie]]''.<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/argosy Argosies]''<br /> *''Belmarie'' - unknown, possibly an invention.<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cardamom Cardamom]<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chalcedony Chalcedony]<br /> *''Derrilyn'' - unknown, possibly a invention.<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dumbledore Dumbledors]'', see also ''[[Dumbledors]]''.<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/errantry Errantry]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/filament Filament]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/foray Foraying]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/furbish Furbished]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gondola Gondola]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gossamer Gossamer]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/habergeon Habergeon]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/honeycomb Honeycomb]''<br /> *''Hummerhorns'' - see ''Dumbledors''.<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/malachite Malachite]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Marigold Marigold]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/marjoram Marjoram]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/morion Morion]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Paladin Paladins]'', see also ''[[Paladin Took II]]''.<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/panoply Panoply]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/plenilune Plenilune]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/provender Provender]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rove Roving]''<br /> *''[http://www.answers.com/topic/sigaldry Sigaldry]''<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stalactite Stalactite]''<br /> *''Thellamie'' - unknown, possibly an invention.<br /> *''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tourney Tourneying]''<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', [[Many Meetings]]<br /> * ''[[The Adventures of Tom Bombadil]]''<br /> * ''[[The Road Goes Ever On (book)|The Road Goes Ever On]]'' <br /> <br /> [[category:Poems]]</div>
