Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A new road or a secret gate...
New verse:
|
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 a 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,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind 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! |

You have:
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a 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.
But if I recall correctly it should be:
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though I oft have passed them by,
The day may come at last when I
Take the hidden paths that run
East of the Moon, west of the Sun.

You are so right...refused to listen to anything. Kinda reminds one of Kerry, doesnt it?
I got RoseBear's msg about the NaNoWriMo...I am bailing out this time...would like to focus on the graphic novel thing.
Maybe now that the election is overwith and I can breath a genuine sigh of relief, I can finally quit myself of the habit of going immediately to the forum boards for news listings...maybe I can finally relax and enjoy writing...
Nah...probably not...but am gonna try anyway....

Welcome, and very observant!
The version we have appears in the beginning of the story... Chapter 3.
Your version appears at the end of the book, at the Grey Havens:
It was evening, and the stars were glimmering in the eastern sky as they passed the ruined oak and turned and went on down the hill between the hazel-thickets. Sam was silent, deep in his memories. Presently he became aware that Frodo was singing softly to himself, singing the old walking-song, but the words were not quite the same.
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
And as if in answer, from down below, coming up the road out of the valley, voices sang:
A! Elbereth Gilthoniel!
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath,
Gilthoniel, A! Elbereth!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees
The starlight on the Western Seas.

On that note, I am off. Need a break from news, and computer.
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Uh, no. I bash Boromir with the best of 'em. I'd fight Rosie for Faramir if she didn't have to just be content with Sam...

The day after the election is a good day to start a new thread! Beats the way I used to spend the day after election.
I had too many years of losing campaigns and trying to rewrite my resume the day after with a HUGH hangover...
