In the Land of Middle Earth
Was a ring of great worth.
It gave long life to its bearer,
But in the end brought unspeakable terror.

Then a Stoor named Smeagol,
Found the ring and it turned him evil.
He took it to a mountain cave,
But Bilbo came and stole it away.

Through the years and with every hour,
Sauron gained despicable power.
He controlled his servants through hardship and pain,
His evil was sure in Isildur’s Bane.

But Frodo the Hobbit left the Shire,
And cast the ring back to the fire,
And with it took the days of gloom.
There it remained in Mount Doom.
