Huh, what a riddle. I would say that it's either something very obscure or very abstract. As I have read it, a few things occured to me, but none of them fit. After reading it for a while, I started to think of abstract things like "greed" and stuff like that, but I'm thinking that it will be more likely after all something more concretely Middle-Earthish, right? And even otherwise, the last three lines really sort of spoil it (I have been thinking of things like "woodworm" or "mouse" before, the same problem as above).
