Summary: Like a lightning bolt, a young Hobbit changes his mind.
Leave behind your hobbit holes,
and try your luck with tricking trolls
under hill,
and over hill,
and to the lonely mountain!
Forget your well-stocked pantry shelves,
and listen for the songs of elves
under hill,
and over hill,
and to the lonely mountain!
Kindle hope from the smallest spark,
make riddles in the deepest dark
under hill,
and over hill,
and to the lonely mountain!
Wear a sword instead of a stick,
so the spiderlings may feel the prick
under hill,
and over hill,
and to the lonely mountain!
Your Tookish side is wide awake!
So burgle the sleeping fire-drake!
under hill,
and over hill,
and in the lonely mountain!
It’s true, there will be aching feet
and less than what you’d like to eat
but the world is waiting down the street
under hill,
and over hill,
and to the lonely mountain!
