Bilbo´s Last Song

miércoles, 18 de agosto de 2010

Coincidiendo con la intención de la editorial Minotauro de publicarlo proximamente en castellano os dejo con una de las últimas obras que legó el profesor a modo de regalo para uno de sus secretarios y de la que todos podemos disfrutar, el último adios a la Tierra Media de todo un portador del anillo Bilbo Bolsón.

Bilbo´s Last song (At the Grey havens)

Day is ended, dim my eyes,

But journey long before me lies.

Farewell, friends! I hear the call.

The ship's beside the stony wall.

Foam is white and waves are grey;

beyond the sunset leads my way.

Foam is salt, the wind is free;

I hear the rising of the sea.

Farewell, friends! The sails are set,

the wind is east, the moorings fret.

Shadows long before me lie,

beneath the ever-bending sky,

but islands lie behind the Sunthat

i shall raise ere all is done;

lands there are to west of West,

where night is quiet and sleep is rest.

Guided by the Lonely Star,

beyond the utmost harbour-bar

I'll find the heavens fair and free,

and beaches of the Starlit Sea.

Ship my ship! I seek the West,

and fields and mountains ever blest.

Farewell to Middle-earth at last.

I see the star above my mast!
