A Voyage to Middle-Earth (c) 1986, C. M. Joserlin <\/p>\n
Find me a ship that can sail on the sea
\n Whose waves are the passed-away years,
\n Over the Ocean of Dreams — let it be
\n Sweet Middle-Earth’s shore that she nears.<\/p>\n
Voyage to Ennorath, tree-tangled land,
\n To find my old friends faring well,
\n Take dwarf, elf, hobbit, and wizard by hand,
\n And hear what new tales they will tell;<\/p>\n
Wander in Lorien, try to console
\n Galadriel’s elven lament;
\n Party with Bombadil, merry old soul;
\n At leisure converse with an Ent;<\/p>\n
Fly with the Eagles, look down on the graves
\n Where Dragon or Balrog once fell;
\n Stand on the shore and look over the waves
\n Toward where the Valar now dwell;<\/p>\n
Journey to mead-halls astride on the steeds
\n Of Rohan, that race like the wind;
\n Hark to the harpers, and hear of the deeds
\n Of those who sought virtue — or sinned;<\/p>\n
Listen to lore of the long-ago times
\n Before Sauron dared to attack;
\n Hear how his creatures accomplished his crimes,
\n And how the Free Folk fought him back;<\/p>\n
Join in the praise of the courage they showed
\n By facing the fell, fearsome foe;
\n Joy in the peace and the freedom bestowed
\n On good folk, to flourish and grow;<\/p>\n
Let me sing with them the songs of the Quest,
\n The heroes, the brave and the fair;
\n Let me hear legends of Middle-Earth’s best…
\n But, most of all, let me be there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
