J.R.R. Tolkien Quote

Ent. When Spring unfolds the beechen leaf, and sap is inthe bough;When light is on the wild-wood stream, and wind ison the brow;When stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen themountain-air,Come back to me! Come back to me, and say myland is fair!entwife. When Spring is come to garth and field, and corn isin the blade;When blossom like a shining snow is on the orchardlaid;When shower and Sun upon the Earth withfragrance fill the air,I’ll linger here, and will not come, because my land isfair.ent. When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon ofgoldBeneath the roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of treesunfold;When woodland halls are green and cool, and windis in the West,Come back to me! Come back to me, and say myland is best!entwife. When Summer warms the hanging fruit and burnsthe berry brown;622 the two towersWhen straw is gold, and ear is white, and harvestcomes to town;When honey spills, and apple swells, though wind bein the West,I’ll linger here beneath the Sun, because my land isbest!ent. When Winter comes, the winter wild that hill andwood shall slay;When trees shall fall and starless night devour thesunless day;When wind is in the deadly East, then in the bitterrainI’ll look for thee, and call to thee; I’ll come to theeagain!entwife. When Winter comes, and singing ends; whendarkness falls at last;When broken is the barren bough, and light andlabour past;I’ll look for thee, and wait for thee, until we meetagain:Together we will take the road beneath the bitterrain!both. Together we will take the road that leads into theWest,And far away will find a land where both our heartsmay rest.
