J R R Tolkien - O! Where Are You Going?
Work rating: Medium

	O! What are you doing,
	And where are you going?
	Your ponies need shoeing!
	The River is flowing!
	O! Tra-la-la-lally
	Here down in the valley!

	O! What are you seeking,
	And where are you making?
	The faggots are reeking!
	The bannocks are baking!
	O! Tril-lil-lil-lolly
	The valley is jolly
	Ha ha!

	O! Where are you going,
	With beards all a-wagging?
	No knowing, no knowing
	What brings Mister Baggins,
	And Balin and Dwalin
	Down into the valley
	In June
	Ha ha!

	O! Will you be staying,
	Or will you be flying?
	Your ponies are straying!
	The daylight is dying!
	To fly would be folly,
	To stay would be jolly!
	And listen and hark
	Till the end of the dark
	To our tune.
	Ha ha!

	The dragon is withered,
	His bones are now crumbled!
	His armor is shivered,
	His splendour is humbled!
	Though sword shall be rusted
	And throne and crown perish,
	With strength that men trusted
	And wealth that they cherish,
	Here grass is still growing,
	And leaves are yet swinging!
	The white water is flowing,
	And elves are yet singing!
	Come! Tra-la-la-lally!
	Come back to the valley!

	The stars are far brighter
	Than gems without measure,
	The moon is far whiter
	Than silver in treasure:
	The fire is more shining
	On hearth in the gloaming
	Than gold won by mining,
	So why so a-roaming?
	O! Tra-la-la-lally!
	Come back to the Valley!

	O! Where are you going?
	So late in returning?
	The water is flowing!
	The stars are all burning!
	O! Whither so laden,
	So sad and so dreary?
	Here elf and elf-maiden
	Now welcome the weary!
	With tra-la-la-lally
	Come back to the Valley,
	Tra-la-la-lally
	Fa-la-la-lally
	Ha ha!
