Do You Know The Quiet Road

Do You Know The Quiet Road

Do you know the quiet road

Between the golden fields?

Do you know that the Wizard rode here

With lots of fireworks?

Do you know where he rode

Whistling a quiet song?

Do you know that he also longed

For this place he once called home?

Harry looked at the calm faces of Remus and Dora and smiled through his tears. He slowly walked over to the two lying down and knelt down. He reached out and grasped their cold hands in his and joined them. Finally, he stood up and stepped back with a soft, sweet smile. "And there you go, Moony."

I really cannot decide...

If more than one applies or you'd choose something not on the list, obviously reblog and put your elaborate fantasy in the notes on Ao3.

My musings: Poetry in LotR

Part 2. A Walking Song

Another song with more than one version! This time there are only two versions: the first, sung by the three hobbits in Woody End and the second, sung by Frodo in his Last Journey through the Shire.

The first version was so sweet and 'Hobbitish'. For a Hobbit, an adventure is supposed to be short and end well; with a warm fire and a comfortable bed. Singing the first version, none of the Hobbits knew what awaited them; they only knew one type of adventure.

But the second version, Frodo's version, sums up their whole journey. They had walked forward without hope, without a vision of a warm home in the future. Now, after all, it is time for the Last Adventure; Frodo, learned by experience knows how painful leaving what you love behind can be.

Up to this point in the book I had (almost) not cried at all, but....

"A day will come at last when I

Shall take the hidden paths that run

West of the Moon and East of the Sun"

It was too much for my nerves. Definitely too much!
