The Ring Verse 

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky 
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone 
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die 
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne 
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie 

One Ring to rule them all 
One ring to find them 
One ring to bring them all 
and in the darkness bind them 
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie

The Road Goes Ever On and On

The road goes ever on and on 
Down from the door where it began 
Now far ahead the Road has gone 
And I must follow, if I can 
Pursuing it with eager feet 
Until it joins with some larger way 
Where many paths and errands meet 
And wither then? I cannot say.
