- UT if a •51 Happiness l « » 17 u»n»r uou have »T Day is ended, dim my eyes, but journey long before me lies. Farewell, friends! I hear the call. The ship ' s beside the stoney wall. Foam is white and waves are gray; beyond the sunset leads the way. Foam is alt, the wind is free; I hear the rising of the Sea. Farewell, friends! The sails are set, the wind is east, the mornings fret.

Guided by the Lonely Star, beyond the utmost harbour -bar I ' ll find the havens fair and free, and beaches of the Starlit Sea. Ship, my ship! I seek the West, and fields and mountains ever blest. Farewell to Middle -earth at last. 1 see the Star above your mast! J.R.R. Tolkien 34
