Frodo's Theme
Frodo's Theme
Characters/plot by J.R.R. Tolkien
words and music (c) Copyright 1975
I wrote this back in Junior High School, but never published it till 1975. It's actually a filk song, so there IS music to it, but the music is also original, and the poem stands alone just fine. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think.
Frodo Baggins small and fair
With Elven mist about his aire
Set out upon adventure lain
To end the curse of Isldur's Bane.
With Elves and Dwarves, the Hobbits set;
With Men and Wizard, numbers met.
The Nine set out from Rivendell
To fool the Nine Black Riders from Hell.
The Nine: They walked through Khazad-dum.
They lost poor Gandalf in a room.
They met a Balrog: Durin's Bane
Where Balin died and now is lain.
Next Boromir and then the rest
Were cast astray or laid to rest,
So Sam and Frodo left them there
To finish the Task or die in dispair.
It led them through the Morgul Vale
With Gollum in hot pursuit on their trail.
They took him to join them so he wouldn't kill
Poor Frodo, who's Ring was the source of his will.
There, in Mount Doom, inside of a cave
They could not cast the Ring away.
But Gollum took it and fell off the wing
Of the ledge to his death and the end of the Ring.
