and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!
Still round the corner there may waitA new road or a secret gate,And though we pass them by today,Tomorrow we may come this wayAnd take the hidden paths that runTowards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!
, the world ahead,And there are many paths to treadThrough shadows to the edge of night,Until the stars are all alight.Then world behind ahead,bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!The song ended. ‘And now to bed! And now to bed!’ sang Pippin in a high voice.‘Hush!’ said Frodo. ‘I think I hear hoofs again.’They slopped suddenly and stood as silent as tree-shadows, listening. There was a sound of hoofs in the lane, some way behind, but coming slow and clear down the wind. Quickly and quietly they slipped off the path, and ran into the deeper shade under the oak-trees.‘Don’t let us go too far!’ said Frodo. ‘I don’t want to be seen, but I want to see if it is another Black Rider.’‘Very well!’ said Pippin. ‘But don’t forget the sniffing!’The hoofs drew nearer. They had no time to find any hiding
