"A real taste for fairy-stories was wakened by philology on the threshold of manhood, and quickened to full life by war."

--JRR Tolkien, Tree and Leaf (1964), 'On Fairy-Stories'


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.

Song of Lore

Tall ships and tall kings
Three times three,
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree.
