[[File:Jake Murray - Fireside Song.jpg|thumb|300px|right|"Fireside Song" by [[:Category:Images by Jake Murray|Jake Murray]]]]
'''I Sit beside the Fire and Think''' is a song by [[Bilbo Baggins]], which he sang softly in [[Rivendell]] on [[24 December]] {{TA|3018}},<ref>{{App|Great}}</ref> the evening before the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] set out upon their quest. Bilbo sang the song in the presence of [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]], after giving Frodo the [[Mithril-coat]] and [[Sting]].<ref>{{FR|II3}}</ref> The song is a contemplative piece, sung by a now-aging hobbit recalling past events that ends in anticipation of hearing returning friends.
==Lyrics==
<poem style="font-style:italic;margin-left:20px;">
I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever 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.

But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.
</poem>

==Legacy==
[[Donald Swann]] wrote music for this song, which can be found in the book ''[[The Road Goes Ever On (book)|The Road Goes Ever On]]'';<ref>{{RGEO|Sit}}</ref> it is also found on the accompanying CD of the latest version.

[[Summoning]] used the poem for lyrics in a song called "A Distant Flame Before The Sun", from the [[1999]] album ''[[Stronghold]]''.

Inspired by this poem, [[Burzum (band)|Burzum]] wrote the lyrics of the song "Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament".

[[Clamavi De Profundis]] wrote music for this song and released it as a memorial for Christopher Tolkien.

==Portrayal in adaptations==
'''1978: [[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1978 film)]]:'''
:After [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] farewells [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] from [[Rivendell]], he recites the first two lines of the poem.

'''2004: [[The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (extended edition)|''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King'' (extended edition)]]:'''
:A translation of this song, with [[Neo-Elvish|Neo-Sindarin]] lyrics by [[David Salo]] and melody by [[Howard Shore]], is heard in the Fan Credits.<ref>{{Cite web |author=|articleurl=http://www.amagpiesnest.com/source_songs/ROTK/SSbilbos_song.htm|articlename=Bilbo's Song|website=[http://www.amagpiesnest.com/ A Magpie's Nest.com]|accessed=9 July 2013 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201225045313/http://www.amagpiesnest.com/source_songs/ROTK/SSbilbos_song.htm |archivedate=25 December 2020 }}</ref>

==2007 Remaster Lyrics==
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
There are signs on The Ring
Which make me feel so down
There's one to enslave all rings
To find them all in time
And drive them into darkness
Forever they'll be bound

Three for the kings
Of the elves, high in light
Nine to the mortal which cry

I'll keep The Ring for sorrow
I'll keep The Ring till I die
I'll keep The Ring for sorrow
I'll keep The Ring till I die

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
And there's no way out

Mordor (Mordor) Mordor
Dark land under Sauron's spell
Threatened for a long time
Threatened for a long time

Seven rings to the dwarves
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley (Into the valley)
I feel down

One ring to the Dark Lord's hand
Sitting on his throne
In the land so dark where I have to go

I'll keep The Ring
I'll keep The Ring
I'll keep The Ring (I'll keep The Ring)
I'll keep The Ring

(Till I Die)
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
(Till I Die)
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
(I'll keep The Ring)
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
(Till I Die)
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill

Lord of The Rings

<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
Call the wind, I hail thee
But sail on through the storm
There's fire in my mind, fire in my mind
Fire in my mind, fire in my mind

There's no escape
And there's no return
The blood and smoke behind us
It's now out of sight
Tears you might be crying
But it's over now
For a higher cause we've come
So just keep your hate alive

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Fëanor

No sorrow, no loss I count the ones behind
Come follow, don't turn your back and let 'em whine
The grief is real, the pain I feel
It's not what I've been longing for
They shall be free, they'll be released
They can't get over the sea

They were following in vain
Burning vessels, burning hope
Needless baggage on the road
Let 'em curse me, let 'em blame
They may have faced their journey's end

Boats at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice, aflamed
To take revenge, ashamed
Betrayed by the insane Fëanor

You've gone too far, you've come to fail
Fëanor
All done in vain, by the oath
You delivered our doom

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Fëanor

Boats at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice, aflamed
To take revenge, ashamed
Betrayed by the insane Fëanor

We've gone too far, we've come to fail
Fëanor
Yet we have reached the promised land
Oh, Fëanor

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Fëanor

==Lyrics==
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
How did I get here
What will I find here
The field is lost
All hope's now gone

I understand
There is no chance
The curse lives on
My children mourn

You'll be with me
For a long time
This place
You won't leave it
No more

Forever
Forever
No

I'm wondering
Who is it for
There's nothing more
I won this war
Dared Valinor

You won't enter
You're deceived
They've sealed the secret place
Out

And day won't come again
No

So there's no relief
When truth shall be revealed
By now you know the answer
So there's no relief
But deceit

Abandoned, forgotten, deceived
Wherever they may roam
So faithful, so loyal
Still no one will come
You're alone

Don't call it destiny

[Chorus]
We will remember
Skies may fade
And stars may wane
We won't forget
And your light shines bright
Yes, so much brighter
Shine on
We will remember
Until the skies will fall
We won't forget
We will remember
We all shall follow
Doom

It's going down
Going down
And there's nothing
You can do

Look into my eyes
(And see)
Your seed it may grow
This is no vision
It's the curse
You'll be deceived
I set upon your kin

Their cries shall come true
It shall be me
You blame
Now watch and see
I'll set doom
Upon you
Your offspring shall bloom
Wherever they may roam
I'll bind them
I'll split them
In solitude
Sorrow shall grow
Unknown

[Chorus]

If that's your choice
Your descendants
They wish
They have never been born
Redeem the oath
And pay the price
If you want

Here on these fields
Where truth shall be revealed
In doom you'll find the answers
Still there's no release
You shall feel

Let's face it
Since everything's shown
You've been through this alone
The deeper the wounds
So much greater the sorrows will grow
There is no sense in it

[Chorus]

'''''Nightfall in Middle-Earth''''' is an album by [[Blind Guardian]] that was released in [[1998]].

The album is a concept album based on the [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] book ''[[The Silmarillion]]''. Many of the tracks from the album are not complete songs, but are merely narratives to further the story. Blind Guardian owes many of its lyrics to Tolkien's work, but this album is exclusively dedicated to ''The Silmarillion''. The lyrics range from the quest for the [[Silmarils]] until the dawn of the [[Third Age]].

"Nightfall in Middle-Earth" was the first album Blind Guardian released in the United States. The result was so positive that Century Media started to release old Blind Guardian hits in the U.S. (records such as "Follow the Blind" and "Battalions of Fear").{{fact}}

The track "Mirror Mirror" is included in ''Blind DVD: Imaginations Through The Looking Glass''. This DVD was rated by many different music-specialized sites as "a masterpiece".{{fact}}

'''Harvest of Sorrow''' is a bonus track on [[Blind Guardian]]'s [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]-themed album ''[[Nightfall in Middle-Earth]]''. The song tells about the [[Narn i Chîn Húrin (tale)|Children of Húrin]].

==Lyrics==
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
She is gone leaves are falling down
The tear maiden will not return
The seal of oblivion is broken
And a pure love's been turned into sin

At the dawn of our living time
Hope may cover all cries
Truth lurks hidden in the shadows
Dreams might be filled with lies
Soon there will be night
Pain remains inside

Suddenly (oh) it seemed so clear
All the blindness was taken away
She closed her eyes and she called out my name
She was never ever never ever seen again

Harvest of sorrow, your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries

When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

She is gone and I fall from grace
No healing charm covers my wounds
Fooled's the dawn and so I am
Fooled by life and a bitter doom
To bring you the end of the day

At the dawn of our living time
Hope it soon will pass by
Facing a darkness
I stand (alone)

Harvest of sorrow, your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

Come follow, don't turn your back and let 'em whine
The grief is real, the pain I feel
It's not what I've been longing for
They shall be free, they'll be released
They can't get over the sea

They were following in vain
Burning vessels, burning hope
Needless baggage on the road
Let 'em curse me, let 'em blame
They may have faced their journey's end

Boats at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice, aflamed
To take revenge, ashamed
Betrayed by the insane Fëanor

You've gone too far, you've come to fail
Fëanor
All done in vain, by the oath
You delivered our doom

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Fëanor

Boats at distant shore they burn
The wind still carries smoke
In Araman we've seen Teleri's work on fire
Across the ice, aflamed
To take revenge, ashamed
Betrayed by the insane Fëanor

We've gone too far, we've come to fail
Fëanor
Yet we have reached the promised land
Oh, Fëanor

The tides of war (the tides of war)
We've come to face it in these lands
We've come to face it in these lands
The Curse of Fëanor

==Lyrics==
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried

All hope is lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone

Save me your speeches
I know
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore

Like sorrowful seagulls they sang
Lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
The bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard
The road might be

But even in silence I heard the words

An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world's end
Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside
The doom of the Noldor drew near
The words of a banished king

I swear revenge

Filled with anger
Aflamed our hearts
Full of hate, full of pride
Oh we screamed for revenge
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

Vala he is that's what you said
(Freely you came and)
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
Never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends

Oh I'm heir of the high lord!

You'd better not trust him

The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me yeah

Farewell

He said
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony
Back to where it all began
Back to where it all began"

'''''Nightfall in Middle-Earth''''' is an album by [[Blind Guardian]] that was released in [[1998]].

The album is a concept album based on the [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] book ''[[The Silmarillion]]''. Many of the tracks from the album are not complete songs, but are merely narratives to further the story. Blind Guardian owes many of its lyrics to Tolkien's work, but this album is exclusively dedicated to ''The Silmarillion''. The lyrics range from the quest for the [[Silmarils]] until the dawn of the [[Third Age]].

"Nightfall in Middle-Earth" was the first album Blind Guardian released in the United States. The result was so positive that Century Media started to release old Blind Guardian hits in the U.S. (records such as "Follow the Blind" and "Battalions of Fear").{{fact}}

The track "Mirror Mirror" is included in ''Blind DVD: Imaginations Through The Looking Glass''. This DVD was rated by many different music-specialized sites as "a masterpiece".{{fact}}

== Lyrics ==
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
A black swan
Is born that night
The misty pond
(Has) got a new king
Got a new king
So what can we do
With our lives
When it all begins
It's hard and
It's cruel
Will grace die in pain?
Will light ever rise again?

I'm trapped in darkness
Still I reach out for the stars
I'm moving in silence
I leave it all far behind

Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns

Let us march on
To the fields of sacrifice
(I'm) wondering why
I'll carry on
Will I betray myself
To rise

In the silence
It's time to explain
(And)
Search for truth in lies
Useful lies
Needless love's damned

What can we do with our lives
When it all begins

Come follow me
And you will see
How it will be
When all the pain is gone away

Oh at dawn
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns

Let us march on
Though there's no hope at our side
Let us be brave
Though by glory we are denied
But
Don't you think
It's time for us
To bring to an end
Come play the song of death
The wisdom in us both
Will make it
Special guaranteed
Come play the song of death

I'm lost in the depths of his eyes
I can't flee
Inner pain caused insanity
It's deep within
The fear and the hunger
Enslaved and denied
By my love and my enemies
I'm the ill gotten son

Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns

'''''Bilbo's Last Song (at the Grey Havens)''''' is a poem written by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. It is sung by [[Bilbo Baggins]] at the [[Grey Havens]] as he is about to leave [[Middle-earth]]. Chronologically this places it at the very end of ''[[The Return of the King]]'', the last volume of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', although it was written later than the books and never included in them.

The poem first appeared as posters (60×40 cm) in November [[1974]], illustrated by [[Pauline Baynes]], published by Allen & Unwin.

The first book edition was published in [[1990]], illustrated by the same artist. It is a 32-page full colour picture-book, each double page containing two lines of the poem, with almost fifty of Baynes's paintings.

The poem was included in the second edition of ''[[The Road Goes Ever On (book)|The Road Goes Ever On]]'', set to music by [[Donald Swann]], in [[1978]].

==Background==
It was originally a composition in Old Norse, entitled ''Vestr um haf'' ("West over sea"), written as early as 1920s. In [[1968]], after [[Joy Hill]], Tolkien's secretary, rediscovered it in a pile of books, Tolkien gave it to her as a gift for her assistance in the setting up of his new office.

After Tolkien's death in [[1973]], Hill showed the poem to [[Donald Swann]], who liked the poem so much that he set it to music and included it in the second edition of ''[[The Road Goes Ever On (book)|The Road Goes Ever On]]'' in [[1978]].<ref>{{RGEO|Bilbo}}</ref> The poem was also illustrated by [[Pauline Baynes]], and published as a poster on [[26 November]] [[1974]].

The song was included in the BBC Radio 4 adaptation of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (1981), with music by Stephen Oliver. The first verse is chanted by John Le Mesurier as Bilbo, the second omitted, and the third sung by a boy soprano.

In 1996 the song was recorded by the [[Unquendor|Dutch Tolkien Society]] band [[The Hobbitons]], with permission from the [[Tolkien Estate]], for their CD ''J.R.R. Tolkien's Songs from Middle-earth''.<ref>{{webcite|website=[http://web.archive.org/web/20021210152658/http://home.wxs.nl/~hobbiton/home.html The Hobbitons] (via [http://www.archive.org Internet Archive]) |articlename=Our CD|articleurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20021207123849/home.wxs.nl/~hobbiton/OURCD.HTM|accessed=27 May 2014}}</ref>

The copyright of the poem was given by Tolkien to Hill together with the poem itself. Upon her death in 1991, Hill gave the copyright to the [[Wikipedia:Order of the Holy Paraclete|Order of the Holy Paraclete]]. Baynes's illustrations for ''Bilbo's Last Song'' were not included in the bequeathing to the Order, but were given the [[Wikipedia:Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford|Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford]] upon her death in 2008.<ref>{{webcite|author=[[Wayne G. Hammond]], [[Christina Scull]]|articleurl=http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mythsoc/conversations/messages/25132|articlename=Bilbo's Last Song and the Order of the Holy Paraclete (message 25132)|dated=7 March 2014|website=Mythsoc|accessed=16 March 2014}}</ref>

==The poem==
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
'''Bilbo's Last Song'''
(At the Grey Havens)

Day is ended, dim my eyes,
but journey long before me lies.
Farewell, friends! I hear the call.
The ship's beside the stony wall.
Foam is white and waves are grey;
beyond the sunset leads my way.
Foam is salt, the wind is free;
I hear the rising of the Sea.

Farewell, friends! The sails are set,
the wind is east, the moorings fret.
Shadows long before me lie,
beneath the ever-bending sky,
but islands lie behind the Sun
that I shall raise ere all is done;
lands there are to west of West,
where night is quiet and sleep is rest.

Guided by the Lonely Star,
beyond the utmost harbour-bar
I'll find the havens fair and free,
and beaches of the Starlit Sea.
Ship, my ship! I seek the West,
and fields and mountains ever blest.
Farewell to Middle-Earth at last.
I see the Star above your mast!
</poem>

[[File:Cristi Balanescu - Durin's Song.jpeg|thumb|250px|right|"Durin's Song" by [[:Category:Images by Cristi Balanescu|Cristi Balanescu]]]]
'''The world was young, the mountains green,''' more commonly known as the '''Song of Durin''',{{Fact}} was a poem sung by [[Gimli]] when the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] traveled through [[Moria]]. Gimli stood up and sang this song when recalling the splendour of [[Dwarrowdelf]]. [[Sam Gamgee]] liked the song so much he wanted to learn it.<ref>{{FR|II4}}</ref>

==The poem==
[[File:J.R.R. Tolkien - The world was young, the mountains green,.mp3|thumb|left|[[J.R.R. Tolkien]] reads The world was young, the mountains green,]]
 
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">The [[arda|world]] was young, the [[mountains]] green,
No stain yet on the [[Moon]] was seen,
No words were laid on stream or stone
When [[Durin]] woke and walked alone.
He named the nameless hills and dells;
He drank from yet untasted wells;
He stooped and looked in [[Mirrormere]],
And saw a [[Durin's Crown|crown of stars]] appear,
As gems upon a silver thread,
Above the shadow of his head.

The world was fair, the mountains tall,
In [[Elder Days]] before the fall
Of mighty kings in [[Nargothrond]]
And [[Gondolin]], who now beyond
The Western Seas have passed away:
The world was fair in Durin's Day.

A king he was on carven throne
In many-pillared halls of stone
With golden roof and [[silver]] floor,
And [[runes]] of power upon the door.
The light of [[sun]] and [[star]] and moon
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
There shone for ever fair and bright.

There hammer on the anvil smote,
There chisel clove, and graver wrote;
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt;
The delver mined, the mason built.
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale,
And metal wrought like fishes' mail,
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword,
And shining spears were laid in hoard.

Unwearied then were [[Durin's folk]];
Beneath the mountains [[music]] woke:
The harpers harped, the minstrels sang,
And at the [[Great Gates|gates]] the trumpets rang.

The world is grey, the mountains old,
The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;
The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in [[Khazad-dûm]].
But still the sunken stars appear
In dark and windless Mirrormere;
There lies his crown in water deep,
Till Durin wakes again from sleep.</poem>

==Portrayal in adaptations==
'''1981: [[The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1981 radio series)]]:'''
:Gimli performs an abbreviated version of he song, omitting the first verse and portions of the second.

'''2001-2003: [[Pán prsteňov (2001-2003 Slovak radio series)|''Pán prsteňov'' (2001-2003 Slovak radio series)]]:'''
:Gimli (portrayed by Vladimír Hajdu) sings the Song of Durin during the Fellowship's journey through Moria, as in the novel. The lyrics of the song are not entirely identical with the original English lyrics (especially when it comes to references to First Age events and locations), but follows the structure and ideas of the original lyrics closely. Gimli presents the poem in a half-reciting, half-singing manner. Its slow and melancholy tune is accompanied by flute (the main melody), a subtle sound of a hammer clanging against an anvil in the distance (indicating the rhythm) and occasional string instrument additions (for emphasizing mood).

'''The Last Ballad of Damrod (Feat. Jens Kidman)''' is a death metal song composed by Bear McCreary for Damrod the troll in [[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]]. It features Jens Kidman on vocals. According to Bear McCreary, he saw how Damrod brutalized friend and foe alike and that brought sound of death metal into his head.

==Lyrics==
<poem>
In humid mold, Troll sits alone.
No friend or kin to call his own.
Troll gnaws on skins;
Raw shanks and shins;
Rips meat from reeking dragon bone.

With laughter deep and throaty groan,
He rises from his seat of stone.
From darkened cave,
A bloodlust crave,
Set loose upon the hills to roam.

(Chorus)
Snap go the bones! (Snap! Snap!)
Crunch go the teeth! (Crunch! Crunch!)
Troll cracking spines (Crack! Crack!)
Beneath his feet! (Crunch! Crunch!)

Now the battle horn has blown,
From final fight he has been shown.
To darkened cave,
A bloodless grave,
He sits with heart, of hardened stone.

In humid mold, Troll sits alone.
Rips meat from reeking dragon bone.
Troll gnaws on skins;
Raw shanks and shins;
No friend or kin to call his own.

(Chorus x2)

Troll turns foe flesh to meat.

'''''Rhûn''''' is a song composed by [[Bear McCreary]] for the [[Where the Stars are Strange|second episode]] of the second season of ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]]''. It features lyrics sung in [[Rhûnnic]] by [[The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices]]. According to Bear McCreary, the language the lyrics were sung in was crafted from some of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s unpublished notes which some Tolkien scholars had unearthed.<ref>[https://bearmccreary.com/the-lord-of-the-rings-episode-202/ The Lord of the Rings: Episode 202], by [[Bear McCreary]], oct. 15, 2024.</ref>

==Lyrics==

''Fú nimžil, nimžil-feg,''

''ligrám lihiš bódi aišäd bil.''

''In thy power and splendor.''
''The border shrine.''
