O! Wanderers in the shadowed land

2013-07-09T11:25:17Z

PoppyPFF:

'''O! Wanderers in the Shadowed Land''', also known as '''Songs in the Woods''' is a song written by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and sung by [[Frodo Baggins]] when walking through the [[Old Forest]] in [[The lord of the rings]]. Its purpose was to try and encourage the other hobbits to continue on. The trees did not seem to like the song.

==The Poem==
<poem>
''O! Wanderers in the shadowed land ''
''despair not! For though dark they stand, ''
''all woods there be must end at last, ''
''and see the open sun go past: ''
''the setting sun, the rising sun,''
''the day's end, or the day begun. ''
''For east or west all woods must fail... ''
</poem>
(Frodo's voice faded there leaving the song incomplete)
