At Journey's End

Through here at journey’s end , I lie in darkness buried deep,
Beyond all towers strong and high, Beyond all mountains steep,
Above all shadows rides the sun , And Stars for ever dwell :
I will not say the day is done, Nor bid the Stars farewell.
Frodo and Sam are going weary miles on the hard cruel road
That leads to the Dark Tower
For the hobbits each day, each mile is more bitter than the one before.
as their strength lessens and the land becomes more evil.
Frodo’s sleep is uneasy, full of dreams of fire,
And waking brings him no comfort.
He’s walking half-bowed, often stumbling,
As if his eyes no longer saw the way before his feet.
Through here at journey’s end I lie in darkness buried deep,
Beyond all towers strong and high,Beyond all mountains steep,
Above all shadows rides the sun,And Stars for ever dwell :
I will not say the day is done,Nor bid the Stars farewell.
He bears the worst pain, as the weight of the Ring grows near Orodruin,
Dream and waking mingle : here come lights
Like gloating eyes, and dark creeping shades,
And the dreadful cries of tortured things in a world all dark. Blackness all about him.
Through here at journey’s end I lie in darkness buried deep,
Beyond all towers strong and high,Beyond all mountains steep,
Above all shadows rides the sun, And Stars for ever dwell :
I will not say the day is done, Nor bid the Stars farewell.
The last stage of their journey comes, their will did not yield and they struggle on.
The huge mass of ash and slag is standing in front of them.
Sam ‘s carrying staggering Frodo the Ring must climb the steep slope
Going to the furnace, by the door of the Sammath Naur.
And the Ring’s perfidy, corrupting Frodo,
Is nothing when its last victim : Gollum
Tears it away with Frodo’s Finger,
and falls into the volcano’s mouth.
Through here at journey’s end I lie in darkness buried deep,
Beyond all towers strong and high, Beyond all mountains steep,
Above all shadows rides the sun And Stars for ever dwell :
I will not say the day is done, Nor bid the Stars farewell.
