Middle-earth in Concert

Frodo Boy

Elrond resumes his place behind the microphone and says, "That was beautiful Glorfindel. That song holds a special place in my heart. Next up is Bilbo Baggins!" Bilbo comes out on stage in as the thick red curtain parted again to reveal the Hobbiton Symphony Orchestra.

Oh Frodo boy, the Ring, the Ring is calling

From glen to glen, and down Mount Doom's side

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying

'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

-

But come you back when autumn's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

'tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Frodo boy, oh Frodo boy, I love you so.

-

And if you come, when all the elves are sailing

And I am old, as old I already be

You'll come and find the place where I am sitting

And kneel and say you've come to join me.

-

And I shall hear, tho' soft you whisper to me

And all my dreams will warmer and sweeter be

If you'll not fail to destroy the Ring that took me

I simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Wild applause and cheers could be heard as Bilbo bowed, left the stage, and Elrond took it once more. "That was lovely Bilbo."
