First submission of the Round - From 'Live'

...with great liberties taken. I have found it necessary to alter their average verse with a more poetic rendering for the purposes of my elegy. I hope it sounds as good as it reads to me.

Shore at Grey Havens
(sharked from 'Dam at otter creek' by "Live")

Sam, returning with Merry and Pippin

When nought is left to do but
think of all we've known
here is where loss breathes
the sorrow of returning home

So we came to the Havens
at the rim of the Gulf of Lune
where the shore was kissed by water
deep enough to sail a ship

Two Bagginses we brought there
flanked by loyalty and love
deep enough to sail a ship
deep enough to sail a ship
They're with us no more

We took them there we three
on horseback among the trees
for we've passed through a war
leaving the dead behind
leaving the Ring's curse behind

May they find rest
upon the farther shore
We will miss them always
always looking over the sea.
