The Land of Shadow

The inspiration to this poem came when I finished reading The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien for the first time...




Away, away, you shall go away
as light as evening may
away, away, you shall go away,
away to the land of shadow

Gone, gone, you have gone,
like the beauty of a precious song,
gone, gone, you have gone,
gone to the land of shadow

Lost, lost, you are forever lost,
like the leaves of the passing fall,
lost, lost, you are forever lost,
lost in the land of shadow
