\nThe Smaug affair and back again<\/p>\n

The Road Goes Ever On<\/strong>
\nBy J.R.R. Tolkien<\/p>\n

Roads go ever ever on,
\nOver rock and under tree,
\nBy caves where never sun has shone,
\nBy streams that never find the sea;
\nOver snow by winter sown,
\nAnd through the merry flowers of June,
\nOver grass and over stone,
\nAnd under mountains of the moon.<\/p>\n

Roads go ever ever on
\nUnder cloud and under star,
\nYet feet that wandering have gone
\nTurn at last to home afar.
\nEyes that fire and sword have seen
\nAnd horror in the halls of stone
\nLook at last on meadows green
\nAnd trees and hills they long have known.<\/p>\n
