"The Road goes ever on and on

Out from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

Let others follow it who can!

Let them a journey new begin,

But I at last with weary feet

Will turn towards the lighted inn,

My evening-rest and sleep to meet."

THE SONG OF AMERGIN

A Poem from Ancient Irish Mythology |

This is an ancient Irish poem attributed to the legendary bard and judge Amergin Glúingel ("white knees"), who, according to myths, arrived in Ireland with the Milesians. In the song, Amergin addresses the wind, sea, earth, and other elements, asserting his connection with them and his power over them.

The poem is a kind of declaration by Amergin of his power over the land of Ireland and a challenge to its previous inhabitants, the Tuatha Dé Danann.

It is considered one of the oldest surviving works from the British Isles and holds great significance in Irish mythology and literature. This poem has many different English translations; this is one of them.

I was gifted this book from a fellow lotr fan who bought it from a used book store in San Francisco in 1993 (the receipt was in the book) sadly I don’t read music so I have zero idea what these songs sound like. The calligraphy is gorgeous though.

In September 1914, J.R.R. Tolkien visited his aunt's farm in Gedling near Nottingham. There, he wrote the poem "The Voyage of Éarendel the Evening Star", it was described by Christopher as "the first in the mythology".

These are the positions of the stars that he would have seen the night before he finished his poem from the location of Gedling.

Written in tengwar, the names of the stars and constellations are from the Silmarillion

Lyrics are in Welsh:

Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugol yn wiriol sydd Ni fydd neb yn ein Drechu, Falch ydy ni i drochu Traed o flaen i'r Annwn, mewn y gwybodaeth fe godwn ni Gafflwn Dihenydd, o'r fuddugol yn wiriol sydd Traed o flaen i'r Annwn, mewn y gwybodaeth fe godwn ni

Translated into English:

We cheat Death from his rightful victory. No one can defeat us. We are glad to plunge Feet first into hell in the knowledge that we will rise.
