Author´s note: Hallo again my dear reviewers! This is Chapter 7. I
finally decided to go on with the story chronological which means that I
will not pick up single episodes. I hope you like it. Chapter 8 has been
uploaded, too, so have a look at it and review, please :-)
Chapter 7 The Ring passes to Frodo
The journey continued, the perils were great
And they reached the mountain and the dragon´s gate,
and the dragon came forth, and deadly was his wrath
until Bart, the youn bowman did bring him the death
So the adventure ended, but many were slain
Ere the treasure belonged to the Naugrim again.
And great was the gift that they gave to their "thief"
Who had tricked the old drake. The days, they were brief
For Bilbo missed the Shire so he took his gold
And his little strong pony, went home, it is told
And he did not know that this Ring which he found
Was the Ring to which Middle-earths doom will be bound
A story that´s thought to have ended in here
Will just start! It´s a story of toil and of fear
A story in which the small people will show
More courage and strength than an Elf with his bow
More loyalty than many men of the past.
Their deeds will be remembered as long as worlds last.
And again I must start were the small hobbits dwell
Though long will be the way in the story I´ll tell.
And again we see Bilbo, who now owns something
Of enourmous imprtance: He owns the One Ring.
For the next 60 years it was him, who did bear
This One lost Ring of Sauron, using it here and there.
And he did not grow old, he was said to be rich
And have caves in his hill, lot´s of caven´s in which
Mr. Bilbo was said to store mountains of gold.
He was said to be weird, that is what people told.
And Bilbo never married and he had no spouse,
but one of his nephews did live in his house.
The boy was Frodo Baggins; he named him his heir
When his was just 12 years Bilbo did take him there
For the lad was an orphan, his parents both died
When on a summer day they once took a boat ride.
Now he lived with his "uncle". He was a good lad.
And for Bilbo was well-of, he did not live bad.
And the years they passed by until on a nice day
A horse and a carrage trod up Bagend´s way.
And Gandalf the Grey came to visit his friend
Our dear Bilbo Baggins, who lived in Bag End.
He came for the party which soon was to be
Bilbos eleventyfirst birthday you see.
But the old and wise wizard did guess, his old mate
To be tired of Hobbiton, he planned of late
To wander the lands as he did long ago
And to leave all his home and his burdens also.
And his party was meant as a final farewell
And his plan did work well. Yes, indeed, I must tell!
For in his final speech he did set the Ring on
To the hobbits´ surprise the old hobbit was gone
For just Frodo and Gandalf knew what the Ring did
This strange golden Ring, which Bilbo so long hid.
Gandalf talked to him and he told him to leave
The One Ring behind, but great was Bilbo´s grief,
for the Ring was dear to him, much more than he knew.
"Let the Ring pass to Frodo! It´s better for you!"
After Bilbo had gone Gandalf sat there in thought
Of the hard inner battle that Bilbo had fought
When he had left the Ring... Then Frodo got the Ring
Which still lay on the floor and he looked at this thing
And was sad, for now Bilbo had left and was gone.
The hobbit who used to love him like a son.
Now Frodo was the lord of the old hobbit´s home
But also he had friends he did feel so alone
Since old Bilbo had left and soon Gandalf left too.
And he said that important things he had to do.
And the years flew away but that was not all,
if you want to read on, well, I´ll wait for your call!
