Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

History: | The Shire was first settled by hobbits in the year T.A. 1601 (year 1 by Shire Reckoning). Led by brothers Marcho and Blanco, hobbits from the vale of Anduin migrated over the Misty Mountains, and lived in the wilds until discovering the Shire. Following the fall of Arnor, the northern kingdom of Men, the Shire became a self-governing realm, electing their own Thain: Bucca of the Marish, who would hold the King's powers, though the Shire was and still is largely self-governed by the various clans. Arnor would not abandon the Shire, however, sending Rangers of the North to protect the borders and keep intruders out. Nevertheless, the Shire has been invaded three times, though all failed. After the War of the Ring and the subsequent Scouring of the Shire, which ended with the Battle of Bywater, the trees were restored with soil given to Samwise Gamgee when visiting Lothlorien. |

"If more people valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." |
