Chapter 8 From Hobbiton to Bree

We have heard of friend Bilbo and Frodo, his lad

Who now lives in Hobbiton and doesn´t live bad.

And year after year did pass down in the Shire

And Gandalf the Grey does follow the desire

To clear up some questions, to look for somthing

That might give him a hint on Bilbo´s little Ring.

And in far Southern Gondor he found written down

The scripts of Isildur, who once had the crown

Of the uttermost south but who now lives no more.

And in this he found more than in any a lore

For Isildur wrote down that he got the One Ring

He wrote that he looked at this wonderful thing

And he saw lines of fire which then soon did fade

And only in fire the Ring shows his fate.

And Gandalf rides swift, he feels fear for his friend

And he fears that too much time already was spend.

And he takes Frodo´s Ring, casts it into the flame

And when they have a look, there is a golden frame

And the letters appear and now Gandalf knows all

Knows that this is the Ring that once caused Sauron´s fall.

He tells the frightened hobbit: "Sauron didn´t fall!

His spirit lived on and the Ring heard his call!

Now he looks for it, getting it is his desire

To once more cover middle-earth in a fire.

He must never get it, or all will be lost

For then he will send forth too great a dark host

And all hope will fade and all freedom is gone

Oh, weak was the heart of Elendil´s great son!

And now we must haste, for here it cannot stay

He will find it here so you must take it away.

For he knows were his Ring could be, we were betrayed

By the creature Gollum, and now it´s too late

To wait any longer for they will come here

So now my dear hobbit do not stare in fear!"

And he tells the poor hobbit: "Leave and go to Bree!

Take the Ring and some friends and there I shall meet thee!"

But suddenly they heard a sound in the dark

And in fear and amazement our two friends did hark.

But it was just friend Samwise and he soon joyned his friend

When both of them hither to Bree soon were send.

The quest started by night in the light of the moon,

with the Ring in his pocket they made their way soon.

"But beware little hobbits the perlis are great,

so hold on to your trueth and hold on to your fate."

But at first they were no real dangers to see

And soon four hobbits slept under the tree

And walked day for day but then it all began

And they saw a black Rider who passed through the den.

But they could escape him, though now they felt fear

And Frodo was tempted by the Ring even here.

And they crossed through the wild and they soon got to know

That they were in danger. Yes danger will grow!

I will not tell you of the barrowdowns´ grave

And not of the deeds of Bombadil, the Brave.

Not how Frodo got lost in the fogs in the wild

For that was just little a peril my child!

Compared to the perils which still will be told.

Yes perils they met and fell creatures of old.

But first they reached Bree and, well, if you will

I´ll go on with that story and I´ll tell you still.

I´ll tell you of Frodo and of the One Ring

And how he was tempted by this evil thing.

I´ll tell you of a ranger who proved as a friend

But this very chapter has come to its end!
