(closing song from the last LOTR movie - The Hobbit : Battle of Five Armies)
I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow and winter's morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over stone and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
Under cloud, beneath the stars
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret
Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me
To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And a journey now begins
And though where it ends
I cannot tell
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
Under cloud, beneath the stars
One day I'll take the roads again
But until then
Farewell, my friends
Farewell

By far my favorite author and story.
I wish he could have seen how far we have come. I wonder what he would think of the movies.
