O! Wanderers in the shadowed land

despair not! For though dark they stand,

all woods there be must end at last,

and see the open sun go past:

the setting sun, the rising sun,

the day's end, or the day begun.

For east or west all woods must fail . . .

~As recited by Frodo Baggins (The Fellowship of the Ring - Book 1, Ch. 6 "The Old Forest")
