Gentle waves along the shore,
as sunlight warms you, pained no more.
Shire grass you knew again,
but home was not as warm as when
We two set out so long ago.
I love the Shire and married another,
but even joys were shadowed by
the hurt I knew to haunt my brother--
you--and greyed your once blue eyes.
I guess you'll never see these words I wrote,
since you're off westward in that boat,
but still I much want you to know:
good Frodo, sir, I miss you so
To the Undying Lands,
is where you must go;
I miss you so.
