Farewell Song of Merry and Pippin Lyrics by J. R. R. Tolkien

The Lord of the Rings – Poems

1954

[Verse 1]
Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
Though wind may blow and rain may fall
We must away, ere break of day
Far over the wood and mountain tall
[Verse 2]
To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell
In glades beneath the misty fell
Through moor and waste we ride in haste
And whither then we cannot tell
[Verse 3]
With foes ahead, behind us dread
Beneath the sky shall be our bed
Until at last our toil be passed
Our journey done, our errand sped
[Outro]
We must away! We must away!
We ride before the break of day!
