The song cycle is by Donald Swann and can be found in the book "The Road Goes Ever On" pub by Houghton Mifflin Co. - now out of print, but you probably could find a used copy also on bookfinder.com Cheers, S. in Seattle |

15 Mar 16 - 10:57 PM (#3779116) Subject: ADD: All That Is Gold (Brooks Williams) From: Joe Offer Somebody mentioned these lines from Tolkien in another thread. I came across this song when I was researching it for the Rise Again songbook. It's a great song. ALL THAT IS GOLD (Brooks L. Williams) All that is gold does not glitter All who wander are not lost The old that is strong does not wither Deep roots are not touched by frost CHORUS From the ashes a fire shall be awoken A light from these shadows shall spring Those who bring peace shall not grow weary Tho' the road be long they will find rest Often the silence speaks the loudest The unclenched fist is still the best Those who seek truth shall not be sorry Those who hope shall find new sight Happy are those who show mercy A candle shines the brightest light —— w & m: Brooks L. Williams Some lines based on a poem by J.R.R. Tolkien © 1992 Brooks L. Williams. On his Back to Mercy & Grace Notes Red Wine & Promises. Wikipedia has an article on the original Tolkien poem. It gives the following text from the poem, which is from The Fellowship of the Ring: All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. |

16 Mar 16 - 03:18 AM (#3779135) Subject: RE: Songs from Tolkien/Poems & Songs from Middle-Earth From: Joe Offer That's why I gave both, HiLo. Read both and compare. Williams converted the second verse into a chorus, and added two new verses. -Joe- |

A loon is he that will not sing: O! Water Hot is anoble thing! O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain. and the brook that leaps from hill to plain; but better than rain or rippling streams is Water Hot that smokes and steams. O! Water cold we may pour at need down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed; but better is Beer, if drink we lack, and Water Hot poured down the back. O! Water is fair that leaps on high in a fountain white beneath the sky; but never did fountain sound so sweet as splashing Hot Water with my feet! Songs and tales from J.R.R. Tolkien's work. http://tolkien.cro.net/talesong/bath.html |
