Hobbiton glistens
With piles of abundant food
In my memory
When will I return?
I wonder as I lie here
Alone in the cave
But footsteps approach
A voice whispers, “Bagginses”
And up, up I go!
This creature gives chase
And my feet grow so weary
What is this strange ring?
O Hobbiton, why?
Why did I leave your comfort
For this adventure?
Bag End, will I see
Your round door open for me
To welcome me home?
The darkness hides me
And the creature moves beyond
Perhaps there is hope
My companions wait
For my triumphant return:
The burglar, alive!
