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.

Merry Dol!  Derry Dol!


Hey! Come merry dol! Derry dol! My darling!
Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling.
Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,
Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,
There my pretty lady is, River-woman’s daughter,
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water.
Old Tom Bombadil water lilies bringing
Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
Hey! Come merry dol! Derry dol! And merry-o,
Goldberry, Goldberry, merry yellow berry-o!
Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your roots away!
Tom’s in a hurry now. Evening will follow day.
Tom’s going home again water-lillies bringing.
Hey! Come derry dol! Can you hear me singing?
