The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon is a Hobbit poem of the Fourth Age said to derive from Gondorian lore. It was recorded in the Red Book.[1]
Excerpt
The Man in the Moon had silver shoon
And his beard was of silver thread;
He was girt with pure gold and inaureoled
With gold about his head.
Clad in silken robe in his great white globe
He opened an ivory door
With a crystal key, and in secrecy
He stole o'er a shadowy floor...[2]
