• Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June, Over grass and over stone, And under mountains of the moon.

Eyes that fire and sword have seen And horror in the halls of stone Look at last on meadows green And trees and hills they long have known
