Under Shire Skies

A young couple drinking tea
On the porch
Exchanging looks can tell
They are bound by the sweetest spell
Under Shire skies

Dancing in a sea of blooms
She's a beauty
And though world's full of fear
Her song makes it disappear
Under Shire skies

Lazy days of laugh and smiles
Their kids grow
Tales told at campsites
By a hobbit, old and wise
Under Shire skies

Autumn comes, leaves turn brown
It gets dark
But the stars shine bright
As old lovers walk at night
Under Shire skies

In the end, together still
Never parted
After a life full of feel
They sleep in eternal peace
Under Shire skies

About the song

Here is a song I wrote for our Bard: Ronald Dwale, also known as Master Tolkien. It is a song about the love between him and his dear wife, Edith. Here, they are both hobbits of the Shire. It is best sung to a sweet tune by Simon & Garfunkel, Bleecker Street.
