Old Forest
Out of the dark,
the old trees hum,
talking of something,
though no others know.
It is here,
harmful and strange creatures lie.
The living trees grow,
looking scarier at night.
It is here,
these paths are strangely led,
those that our hobbits secretly dread.
Someone is there,
untroubled and lonesome,
Old Tom Bomadil,
to save the day.
Singing his songs,
he frightens evil away.
Old Tom Bomadil will save the day.
Meanwhile,
Guiding the way,
to lead the frightened friends out of distress,
away from the forest that's alive.
The forest where all the secrets lie.
No return is expected,
to this evil land.
The feelings of worry pass,
as quickly as they came.
