The Shire

Hail thee, hail,
My shadowy dale,
Thy brightest mornings,
The shepherd’s calling,
Thy endless rains,
The horse’s manes
And strangers walking,
Quietly talking.

Long days to live,
My blue river-sleeve!
On water a sun-beam
Or a day so dim.
Birds in the willows,
Beasts in their hollows,
Time you can swallow,
Peace you can give.

Thank you a lot,
My piece of  this world!
You are the beginning
Of many things living:
Of songs and verses
And pictures of horses,
And merry fire
In this end of Shire.
