"Hey dol! Merry dol! into the Night so sweet!
Hey dol! Merry lol! time to wash your feet!
Time to eat and drink and dance the night
without a thought of tomorrow's flight!
For a road there is waiting for some
let the Valar grace it, make it fun!
No need to fear Sauron at all
as he's just a lousy eyeball!"
And dancing with flower-robed elves Tom went disappearing into the Night. But his song could still be heard.
"Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!"
EDIT: I didn't indeed notice Daín's confession... oops! Well all the more reason for joy!
