While scholars argue that this song is more dwarvish than hobbity, it must be admitted that the hobbits of Tookland are less "hobbity" than others, what with their adventurous spirits. This Tookish lullaby reflects their restless nature. It is an uneasy song, more suited to sleeping under the stars than sitting by the hearth, and the singer must fit the words round the tune, much as the rustling of the wind in the wood, as it finds its way round the limbs and through the leaves, so to speak. The wind walks wild o’er the darkling world; Tuck me up ‘neath the wide-spreading tree; I’ve wandered far from my familiar home Tuck me up ‘neath the wide-spreading tree; For the music, please click Here (As appeared in All That Glisters, Chapter 32, "Sweet Draughts and Savoury Biscuits") Please remember that this music is protected by copyright law. |
