Pippin's Verse

This is page for all of the songs or poems Pippin sings or recites in the book or movie. Much thanks to Kristin for giving me the idea!

The Steward of Gondor
-ROTK movie

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
that none have seen but we alone.
Tree and Flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or secret gate.
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the moon or to the sun.
Apple, thorn and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread.
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Untill the stars are all alight.
Then world behimd and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

At the Green Dragon

Hey Ho to the bottle I go,
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Though rain may fall, and wind may blow,
and there still be many miles to go.
Sweet is the sound of the falling rain,
and the brook that runs from hill to plain.
But better than rain, or rippling brook,
is a mug of beer insie this Took!
