The poems listed here are from various
writings of Tolkien. Although the majority can be found in The Hobbit or LotR, some
come from The Tolkien Reader. Of course, I do plan on adding more in the future.
Note that not all the poems in Tolkien's writings have names. I have
given names to those that were without so as to make a distinction of it.
Athelas
When the black breath blows
and death's shadow grows
and all light pass,
come athelas! come athelas!
Life of the dying
In the king's hand lying!
