Bilbo’s Last Song

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 beforе me lie
Benеath 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 my mast!
