3. Gandalf - The Fellowship of the Ring
When evening in the Shire was grey
his footsteps on the Hill were heard;
before the dawn he went away
on journey long without a word.

From Wilderland to Western shore
from northern waste to southern hill,
through dragon lair and hidden door
and darkling woods he walked at will.
